Co-organized by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, "Van Gogh and the Olive Groves" reunites for the first time the series of paintings devoted to the titular motif that the artist produced between June and December 1889. It additionally highlights new discoveries about the artist’s techniques, materials, and palette that emerged from a collaborative conservation and scientific research project that included all 15 paintings in the series.

The exhibition will also explore the artist’s tendency to produce groups of paintings on specific subjects, taking a closer look at select examples from key periods of his production, as well as at the larger series of paintings dedicated to motifs he considered quintessential to Provence, to which the olive groves belong.
Co-curated by Nicole R. Myers, the DMA’s Barbara Thomas Lemmon, Senior Curator of European Art, and Nienke Bakker, Senior Curator of Paintings at the Van Gogh, Museum, the exhibition will be on display at the Van Gogh Museum from June 25-September 12, 2021 before coming to Dallas.
