From 1 September 39 works by Vincent van Gogh are on view at ARKEN. The special exhibition VAN GOGH focuses on the famous artist’s work, spirituality and view of nature, and is the first major exhibition dedicated to Van Gogh’s paintings and drawings in Denmark for more than 50 years. On 23 December 1888, when Vincent van Gogh cut off most of his left ear during a psychotic episode, he was still entirely unknown as an artist.

Chait Gallery & Auctioneers conducts approximately 20 auctions per year, with estimates that range from one hundred to one million dollars. And while the family-owned business is most closely associated with high-end Asian art and antiques, I.M. Chait has seen its profile rise this year with successes in jewelry, watches, antiquities and fine art of the Western world. In particular, Chait made headlines with its May 20 International Fine Arts Auction featuring a collection of five select paintings by the beloved American folk artist Anna Mary Robertson (1860-1961), better known as Grandma Moses. All of the artworks had provenance from Hammer Galleries, where they were exhibited in 1964-65. “It was the first time we had ever auctioned paintings by Grandma Moses, and it was quite a thrill for us, since her work is so coveted but rarely appears in the marketp
