Touring Van Gogh exhibition makes grand debut in Beijing
A new travelling exhibition dedicated to Vincent Van Gogh has made its debut in Beijing ahead of a five year tour around China.
Set to tour a number of Chinese cities including Macau and Shanghai, Artcomm and the Vincent Van Gogh Museum have created Meet Vincent Van Gogh, which made its public debut on 15 June.
The only travelling Van Gogh experience created by the experts at the museum, the exhibition offers a rare glimpse at some of the artist’s pieces which often never leave the museum.
In addition to offering a look at some of his most famous works, Meet Vincent Van Gogh exhibits a collection of 800 personal letters, family photographs and AV scenes showing the history of Van Gogh.
Told through six chapters of Van Gogh’s history, including him as an emerging artist in the Netherlands, Antwerp and Paris, his time in Arles in France, his illness and the legacy and relevance he holds more than 125 years after his death, the experience offers a comprehensive look at the life and times of the famous artist.
Van Gogh’s various paintings and working spaces have been accurately reproduced, allowing each visitor to touch the artist’s brushstrokes, actively interact with his creative environment and try their hand at drawing using his tools.
The experience ends an interactive wall presenting hundreds of his works from collections around the world, demonstrating Van Gogh’s influence on culture today.
“Visitors embark on a journey through the most important moments of Van Gogh’s life, beautifully rendered to simulate the world as he saw it,” said a statement. “Through the words of Vincent himself, his brother Theo, his sister in law Jo Bonger and other key persons, Meet Vincent van Gogh provides intimate insights into the artist’s brilliant mind and troubled psyche, while its multisensory interactive environment allows visitors to discover piece by piece the man behind the great art.”
