A place for reflection and creation, the Foundation offers a unique approach to Vincent van Gogh by exploring, through temporary exhibitions, the resonance of Van Gogh’s work with today’s international artistic production.
To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the foundation is spotlighting Van Gogh's masterpiece The Starry Night, which returns to Arles for the first time since its creation in 1888 (until August 25). The exhibition shows the influence of this nocturnal scene in 150 works by over 70 artists, from both the modern (Edvard Munch, Kasimir Malevitch, Georgia O'Keeffe, Yves Klein, Helen Frankenthaler...) and contemporary art (Tony Cragg, Alicja Kwade, Anselm Kiefer, Dove Allouche, Lee Bontecou...).
