• The Van Gogh Foundation
  The foundation is operated by the association for the creation of La fondation Van Gogh.
  Van Gogh wanted to create a “studio in the South” where he and other painters could live together. The foundation attempts to follow in his footsteps by creating a gallery-studio where contemporary artists can express their homage to Van Gogh.
