Van Gogh’s wheatfields ‘under turbulent skies’

Van Gogh painted five major wheatfield landscapes in July 1890, just days before his death, while living in Auvers-sur-Oise. The article examines these late works—including *Wheatfield with Crows*, *Wheatfield under Thunderclouds*, *The Fields*, and *Wheatfields with Reaper*—and analyzes the artist's letters to his brother Theo and sister-in-law Jo, in which he described the fields as "under turbulent skies" and expressed both sadness and a sense of health in nature. It also corrects the long-held assumption that *Wheatfield with Crows* was his final painting, now believed to have been completed on 8 July, before the letters were written.

A century ago, Tate borrowed five Van Goghs to inaugurate its new “modern foreign” galleries

In June 1926, London's Tate Gallery opened its first rooms dedicated to modern foreign art, an event presided over by King George V and Queen Mary. To celebrate, the gallery mounted a massive loan exhibition of over 250 works, as its own collection of international art was too small. Among the loans were five works by Vincent van Gogh—four paintings and one drawing—all lent by British collectors. The article traces the provenance of each work, including Oleanders (now at the Met), Interior of a Restaurant (still in a private collection), Stairway at Auvers (now at the Saint Louis Art Museum), and a lost drawing titled The Hut. It also highlights the role of early female collectors Elizabeth Workman and Esther Sutro.

Eyes Wide Open! Kenny Schachter Dishes on Delinquent Dealers, Secret Deals, and That Other ‘Salvator Mundi’

Kenny Schachter offers a sardonic, first-person account of the spring 2025 art season in New York, weaving together observations from auctions, art fairs, and gallery openings. He notes brisk business at Sotheby's and Phillips, citing specific sales like James Ensor's tiny "Still life with Stingray" ($140,800) and Georgia O'Keeffe's double-sided "Maple Leaves and Flowering Cactus" ($1.68 million). Schachter also recounts his experience at Larry Gagosian's new Madison Avenue gallery, where security guards outnumbered the artworks, and reflects on the broader economic climate, including a tax lawyer moonlighting as a 3-D printer for his own sculpture project. He contrasts the wealthiest collectors—one driving a Lamborghini but staying at a Holiday Inn Express—with dealers wearing grim faces at TEFAF, painting a picture of a bifurcated art economy.

Why did Van Gogh sign his paintings as ‘Vincent’?

Art historian Julia Engelmayer has published a study titled 'Simply ‘Vincent’: An Overview of Van Gogh’s Signed Paintings' on the Van Gogh Museum's website, analyzing why and how Vincent van Gogh signed his works. The research reveals that only 133 of his 840 surviving paintings bear a signature (16%), an unusually low proportion for a 19th-century artist. Van Gogh signed with only his first name due to strained family relations and the difficulty non-Dutch speakers had pronouncing his surname. The study also highlights his predominant use of red signatures (on 75 works), angled signatures on over half of his signed pieces, and a distinctive horseshoe-shaped 'V' used during his Arles period.

A tale of two Annas: Van Gogh’s favourite Whistler painting stars in Tate Britain show

Tate Britain will open a major exhibition titled *James McNeill Whistler* on 21 May, running through 27 September, before traveling to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam (16 October–10 January 2027) under the subtitle *Dandy and Disrupter*. The show’s centerpiece is Whistler’s iconic *Arrangement in Grey and Black no. 1* (commonly known as *Portrait of the Painter's Mother*), on loan from the Musée d’Orsay in Paris and displayed in its original frame designed by the artist. The article explores Vincent van Gogh’s admiration for the painting—he wrote to his sister Wil in 1889 that it reminded him of their own mother—and traces the work’s connections to the Goupil gallery (later Boussod & Valadon), where both Vincent and his brother Theo worked.
