The first phase, held from February 21 to May 10, 2026, will feature approximately 60 works by Vincent van Gogh, including 'Cafe Terrace at Night,' as well as works by his contemporaries such as Monet and Renoir.
Marking 15 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake, the exhibition will present the 'first half of his artistic career,' from his time in the Netherlands to Arles, tracing van Gogh's journey to establishing his unique style.
In the second phase, held in 2027, 'The Langlois Bridge at Arles' and other works are scheduled to be exhibited in Japan, focusing on the 'second half of his artistic career,' from the Arles period to his later years.
Combined, the first and second phases, which follow the life of van Gogh, will make for a large-scale exhibition with a total of approximately 100 works.
This exhibition features approximately 60 works from the Kröller-Müller Museum's collection, including 'Cafe Terrace at Night,' as well as works by contemporaries such as Monet and Renoir. The first phase, held in 2026, the 15th year after the Great East Japan Earthquake, will present the first half of his artistic career, from his Dutch period through his time in Paris and on to Arles, tracing his evolution into the Van Gogh we all know. The second phase, in 2027, will feature works such as 'The Langlois Bridge at Arles,' and will explore the latter half of his career, from Arles to his final years. Together, both phases, which follow Van Gogh's life, will showcase approximately 100 works.
