Van Gogh and Britain | Pioneer Collectors

7th July to 24th September 2006 | Tickets £6 (£4)

Now recognised as one of the most famous and popular artists in the world, legend has it that Vincent van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime. This fascinating exhibition – the first van Gogh exhibition in Scotland for over fifty years - explores British collectors' interest in the artist; and in so doing, reveals important new research. Around 30 works, including major international loans, offer a representative selection from his whole career, including: Still Life, Basket of Apples (1887); Portrait of Alexander Reid (1887); Orchard in Blossom, Plum Trees (1888); Oleanders (1888) and A Wheatfield with Cypresses (1889).

See Van Gogh’s trademark dynamic brushwork and vibrant colours up close in the serene setting of the Dean Gallery, set in beautiful parkland next to Edinburgh’s historic Dean Village. Not to be missed.
