Van Gogh and the Avant-Garde at the Art Institute of Chicago

Looks like this event has already taken place.

Sun, May 14 – Mon, Sep 04, 2023

111 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60603

More than 75 paintings and drawings from this intensely creative period—many from private collections and rarely publicly displayed—come together for this insightful presentation.

Featuring 25 works by Van Gogh, including two triptychs that will be shown together for the first time. Uniting these outstanding works in this exhibition not only sheds new light on the boundary-pushing techniques Van Gogh and his fellow painters developed during this time, but it also illuminates the power of place to inspire—to encourage pioneering work, launch career-changing ideas, and shape artistic identities.
