While the foundation owns no art, it does host exhibitions that relate to van Gogh and often include paintings by van Gogh. We saw this exhibition of the work of Nicole Eisenman juxtaposed with paintings by van Gogh and other artists. Eisenman selected the paintings that had influenced her work for this exhibition.
