The prints and drawings of Vincent van Gogh 185390 include some of theworlds bestknown most popular and most valuable pieces. This volume is acatalog of van Gogh drawings and prints that are currently under the care ofthe KrollerMuller Museum located near the village of Otterlo in theNetherlands. Catalogued for the first time in 1917 these works have undergonefour different editions of the cataloguing process by four different members ofthe museum staff since World War II alone and always in the company of vanGoghs more famous paintings. Now for the first time the drawings have beenstudied independently and the information gathered here presents a remarkablyclear overview of the present scholarship and art historical research on theauthenticity dating provenance and exhibitions of the work. Differing inmany ways from the last collection catalog of van Goghs drawings and paintingswhich was published nearly thirty years ago this volume not only producesnew information on the provenance of certain works but frequently comes upwith a sharper analysis of the techniques and materials used by the artist aswell as new dates for individual drawings. Doubts that have arisen about theauthenticity of certain juvenilia by van Gogh are here provided with a wellreasoned foundation and with the publication of this editionwhichcomplements a 2003 catalog of van Goghs paintingsa period of intensiveresearch on van Goghs works in the collection has been brought to a closeculminating in this impeccably researched catalog and its accompanying wealthof fullcolor images. «
