The Philadelphia Art Museum will be opening a new show next summer dedicated to the reuniting of two flowerflower paintings by Vincent Van Gogh.
According to artnews.com:
The exhibition, which is set to run from June 6 to October 11, 2026, will be titled “Van Gogh’s Sunflowers: A Symphony in Blue and Yellow”. It will feature the PAM’s Sunflowers (1889), with its distinct turquoise background, and the artist’s original iteration of the subject Sunflowers (1888), with the better-known yellow background.
The exhibition is part of an ongoing collaboration between the two institutions. The PAM loaned its Sunflowers to the National Gallery last year for an show, marking the first time the work had left the museum since its acquisition in 1963. The National Gallery Sunflowers, which it acquired in 1924, has only traveled abroad four times.
