VanGogh in America

 Yesterday, DH + I visited Detroit, Michigan.  The weather was rain (not snow and ice), so we viewed the

 Van Gogh in America exhibit.

While there were MANY beautiful works, the Starry Night (Starry Night over the Rhone), 1888 on loan from Paris (Musee d'Orsay) was a favourite.

And, at the exhibit entrance, we were gifted a wonderful program:

 This guide had photos and information re. 28 of the works on view.  There was a $50 catalog available in the gift store, but this program guide was appreciated!

Per the webpage:    "See Van Gogh in Detroit with the exhibition Van Gogh in America, which celebrates the Detroit Institute of Art’s status as the first public museum in the United States to purchase a painting by Vincent van Gogh, his Self-Portrait (1887). 

On the 100th anniversary of its acquisition, experience 74 authentic Van Gogh works from around the world and discover the fascinating story of America’s introduction to this iconic artist, in an exhibition only at the DIA."

 Before our entry time, we visited the Vincent pop-up on the 2nd floor.  Cozy Cafe for wine and sandwich.   In the hallway, DH spotted Sea Boots by Andrew Wyeth.

 Look at this -- Self portraits of Andy Warhol, by Andy Warhol.

The small exhibit, right off the main Diego Rivera court was VanGogh's Artistic Roots.
