Van Gogh & Co: Criss-crossing the collection

Apr 25, 2015 - Sep 27, 2015
In the Van Gogh Year 2015, with the theme ‘125 years of inspiration’, the Kröller-Müller Museum presents the exhibition Van Gogh & Co. Criss-crossing the collection.

Still lifes, nature themes, cityscapes and the human figure by Vincent van Gogh are compared to works by his predecessors, contemporaries and followers in the same genres. More than fifty paintings and drawings by Van Gogh will be shown, along with an equal number of works by other artists, such as François Bonvin, Jan Toorop, Henri Fantin-Latour, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Paul Cézanne, Adolphe Monticelli and Bart van der Leck.
Tribute to Van Gogh
Besides the exhibition Van Gogh & Co. Criss-crossing the collection, a smaller presentation with tributes to Van Gogh is also on display. Among other things, this includes a sculpture of a tormented Van Gogh by Joseph Mendes da Costa and an impassioned homage to the artist made by Vilmos Huszár. A number of posters are also included. These were made in 1990 to commemorate Van Gogh’s death, at that time a hundred years previously. A variety of artists, such as Roy Lichtenstein, Giuseppe Penone and Mario Merz had made works that emphasized their admiration of Van Gogh and these are compiled in the series of posters.
