Securing the loans requires great effort and lenders need to be reassured that they are based on deep scholarship. These types of exhibitions create particular challenges for curators, since specific paintings are needed and substitutes are often unsuitable. But these three shows all throw light on particular aspects of his career-pictures done during his concentrated ten weeks in Auvers-sur-Oise, works painted on the banks of the Seine by Van Gogh and four radical colleagues, and depictions of one his favourite motifs, the cypress tree. Many Van Gogh exhibitions set out to provide a broad look at the artist’s career, borrowing paintings (major and minor) which are available on loan. The separate shows include a total of more than 100 of Vincent’s paintings. Together they will present a fresh look at the artist’s work in France in his final years, when his powers were at their greatest. By chance, all three of the top Van Gogh “exhibitions of the year” open next month.
