Van Gogh’s exuberant ‘Tarascon Stagecoach’ will be donated to a Los Angeles museum

The Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation is donating 63 works to three major U.S. museums, led by Vincent van Gogh's *Tarascon Stagecoach* (October 1888). The painting will debut at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) from February 22 to July 5, 2026, then travel to the Brooklyn Museum of Art in autumn 2026 and New York's Museum of Modern Art in 2027. The work depicts a horse-drawn coach in Arles, was sketched in a letter to Van Gogh's brother Theo, and has a rich provenance including early ownership by sculptor Medardo Rosso and a journey to Uruguay as the first Van Gogh in the Americas.
