Van Gogh’s Starry Night over the Rhône reveals more of its mysteries

Van Gogh's *Starry Night over the Rhône* (September 1888), housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, is analyzed in detail to separate the actual view of Arles from the artist's imaginative additions. The article examines how Van Gogh repositioned the Plough (Big Dipper) constellation, exaggerated the brightness of gas lamps, and likely painted most of the scene in his studio rather than en plein air. It also reveals that he later reworked the lower-left corner of the canvas, as seen in contemporary sketches.

Big Galleries Are Racing to Sign Emerging Artists. It’s Changing Everything

Major blue-chip galleries like Gagosian, Hauser & Wirth, Pace, and White Cube are increasingly signing emerging artists earlier in their careers, bypassing the traditional trajectory where young artists would first develop with smaller galleries over many years. Examples include George Rouy joining Hauser & Wirth at age 30, Pam Evelyn joining Pace at 27, and Sasha Gordon joining David Zwirner in 2024. This shift comes amid a contracting art market where aggregate dealer sales fell 6% between 2023 and 2024, while smaller galleries with turnover under $250,000 saw sales grow 17%. Ultra-contemporary auction sales dropped 37.9% in the same period, signaling a cooling of speculative buying.
