【Overview】

Many works of art made by Vincent van Gogh remained in his family after his death in 1890. What happened to those artworks between then and the present day? This is the question explored by Van Gogh's Home, the first exhibition in Japan to focus on the Van Gogh family collection.

Van Gogh's work as an artist was supported chiefly by his younger brother Theo, who also became the custodian of most of his oeuvre.

After Theo's death, his wife Jo devoted her life to managing this extensive collection and bringing her late brother-in-law's work to the world.

Later, Theo and Jo's son Vincent Willem established the Vincent van Gogh Foundation and a museum to house the collection and prevent its dispersal. Van Gogh dreamed of painting work that offered consolation and would be viewed a century from his time.

That dream was kept alive by his family along with his art, and through this exhibition both will be transmitted into the future.
