The Van Gogh Museum and The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York are collaborating on Van Gogh and the colours of the night. It is the first exhibition to be dedicated to Vincent van Gogh's representations of the evening and night, a theme which recurs throughout his oeuvre. Celebrated works from international collections will include The starry night (MoMA), Eugene Boch (Musee d'Orsay) and The potato eaters (Van Gogh Museum). Van Gogh and the colours of the night is the first collaborative project between the Van Gogh Museum and MoMA and organized by Joachim Pissarro (Adjunct Curator of MoMA, Bershad Professor of Art History and Director of the Hunter College Galleries) and Sjraar van Heugten (head of Collections of the Van Gogh Museum). The exhibition will be on view from 21 September 2008 to 5 January 2009 at The Museum of Modern Art in New York and from 13 February to 7 June 2009 at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.
