The Norton Simon Museum presents an installation of Vincent van Gogh's Self-Portrait, 1889, on loan from the National Gallery of Art, Washington
Dec. 7, 2012 - March 4, 2013
The Norton Simon Museum is delighted to announce an installation of Vincent van Gogh's electrifying Self-Portrait from 1889, a highlight of the National Gallery of Art's 19th-century collection. One of 36 self-portraits by Van Gogh, and among the last he painted, the work was executed as he recovered from a severe breakdown in Saint-Rémy in the summer of 1889. Its installation at the Norton Simon Museum is the first time the painting has been on view on the West Coast, and while Southern California is home to several outstanding works by Van Gogh, none of his self-portraits are in collections here. The loan is part of a special exchange program between the Norton Simon foundations and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., that brought Vermeer's A Lady Writing and Raphael's Small Cowper Madonna to the Simon in recent years
