Van Gogh's Van Goghs (in L.A.) tix available
DeadLedder
for the critically acclaimed "Van Gogh's Van Goghs"
at the L.A. County Art Museum. Tickets
are for next Saturday (5/1) at 11am. Tix for
this event are extremely hard to come by, FYI.
Face value is $23.50 per adult ticket (incl svc
chg) and $6.50 per child ticket. That's a total
face value of $60. I'll take the first reasonable offer.
I won't check here, so email me, please. Thanks.

collection....my mom and brother went in february and brought me a postcard of
a van gogh i'd never seen: black background with a "portrait" of a skull
smoking a "cigarette"...ahahaaa...mom said she immediately thought of me (the
family deadhead) when she saw it...
i hadn't realized that van gogh painted for about 10 years before he ever sold
a single painting...the year he sold his first work was the same year he
died...
let it shine!

Are these the VGs from the VG museum in Amsterdam? I heard some of those
were traveling around, so to speak.
I spent a good half-day in the one it Amsterdam and will never forget it.

Yes these are *some* (about a third, if I remember right, or about 50 - 60 or
so) of the Amsterdam VG museum's collection. Not all of the "biggies," but
some of them, such as: The Potato Eaters, The Bedroom at Arles, "That one with
the boats," (sorry, I can't remember the title) and last but not least
,**Wheatfield with Crows**, which I gazed rapturously into for a good 15-20
minutes before finally tearing myself away.
One self-portrait, no sunflowers (fine with me, never got too excited about
those). Plus many absolutely gorgeous ones I had never heard of, and didn't
remember from my visit to the Amsterdam museum (it was 30 years ago and I was
10 years old). All phases of his career are represented.
The only reason they are being allowed to travel at all is because the Van Gogh
museum is undergoing renovations (the rest of the collection has moved across
the street to the Rijksmuseum), and the only stops in the U.S. were/are the
National Museum in D.C. and this one in L.A.
If you can't tell by now, I *highly* recommend it for anybody even halfway
interested in Van Gogh. It's the only art exhibit I have ever seen that
produced the kind of spiritual euphoria that great music can stir in me.
I think it closes soon.

Yeah it was a great exhibit. The smaller Picasso exhibit that ran before
was pretty cool too (in L.A.).
