In conjunction with the exhibition Van Gogh in America, the Detroit Institute of Arts is hosting two scholarly panel discussions on January 12, 2023.
The second session, which will take place in the DIA’s Lecture Hall and simultaneously livestreamed (on YouTube and Facebook), will discuss the myths surrounding Van Gogh’s persona and his body of work that pervade global popular culture.
This panel discussion featuring Nienke Bakker, Senior Curator, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, as well as Louis van Tilborgh and Teio Meedendorp, both Senior Researchers at the Van Gogh Museum, will discuss some of the many myths that surround Van Gogh and how studies of the posthumous reception of the artist worldwide can help to shed light on the creation and perpetuation of some of these myths.
This discussion will be moderated by DIA curators Jill Shaw (Head, The James Pearson Duffy Department of Modern and Contemporary Art and Rebecca A. Boylan and Thomas W. Sidlik Curator of European Art, 1850–1970) and Dorota Chudzicka (Assistant Curator of Modern European Art).
