There’s a rare reunion at the Philadelphia Museum of Art this year: Two of Vincent van Gogh’s famous sunflower paintings are on view side by side.
Only five large-scale paintings comprise his “Sunflowers” series, scattered over three continents. But now, Philly gets a chance to see two together through October 11.
For the first time in its history, “Sunflowers” (1888), from the collection of London’s National Gallery, has traveled across the Atlantic for its United States premiere alongside the PMA’s own “Sunflowers” (1889).
What else should be on Inquirer arts and entertainment reporter Rosa Cartagena’s radar? Let us know 👇
