Auvers-sur-Oise[edit]
No self-portraits were executed by Van Gogh in Auvers-sur-Oise, during the final weeks of his life.
Remarks[edit]
F525: This painting was van Gogh 's last self-portrait, which he gave to his mother as a birthday gift.[1] Van Gogh painted Self-Portrait without beard just after he had shaved himself. The self-portrait is one of the most expensive paintings of all time, selling for $71.5 million in 1998 in New York. At the time, it was the third (or an inflation-adjusted fourth) most expensive painting ever sold.
Provenances[edit]
A confiscated self-portrait [Self-portrait dedicated to Paul Gauguin, September 1888], by Vincent van Gogh is auctioned at Gallerie Fisher, Lucerne, in 1939. The winning bid was $US 40.000 by Dr. Frankfurter.[6]
F476: Vincent van Gogh, Arles, (1888,) gift; to Paul Gauguin, (1888-1897) sold.
[Ambroise Vollard, Paris.] [Paul Cassirer Gallery, Berlin.] Dr. Hugo von Tschudi, Berlin, (1906-1911), by descent; to his widow, Angela von Tschudi, Munich (1911-1919), to Neue Staatsgalerie, (1919-1939) sold; [Entartete Kunst sale, 1939, Fischer Gallery, Lucerne,Switzerland, no. 45]; to Maurice Wertheim (1939-1951) bequest; to Fogg Art Museum, 1951. Notes: Gauguin sold the painting for Fr 300, Hugo von Tschudi bought the painting for the Nationalgalerie, Berlin, with funds from sponsors, but did not submit it to the Kaiser for pre-approval. He took the painting to Munich when he assumed post
there.[7]
Scandals[edit]
During the Third Reich regime in Germany, Vincent van Gogh paintings were stolen and/or destroyed by German authorities including the self-portrait [Self-portrait dedicated to Paul Gauguin, September 1888], depicted in the black and white picture.
Fakes[edit]
Self-Portrait, à l 'oreille mutilé, 1889? (F 528)
Oil on canvas, 40 × 31 cm
National Gallery, Oslo
Almost at the same time as when his Catalogue raisonné was published, Jacob Baart de la Faille had to admit that he had included paintings emerging from dubious sources, and of dubious quality. Little later, in 1930, De la Faille rejected some thirty odd paintings, which he had originally included in his Catalogue raisonné - together with a hundred of others he had already excluded: Self-portraits - and Sunflowers - held a prominent place in the set he now rejected. In 1970, the editor 's of De la Faille 's posthumous manuscript brand marked most of these dubious Self-portraits as forgeries,[8] but could not settle all disputes, at least on one:
The Selfportrait 'a l 'éstampe japonais ', then in the collection of William Goetz, Los Angeles, was included, though all editors refused its authenticity.[9]
Meanwhile, the authenticity of a second "self-portrait" has been challenged:
The Selfportrait, 'à l 'oreille mutilé ', acquired in 1910 for the Nasjonalgalleriet, Oslo, has been unanimously rejected by recent scholars and technical researchers for decades, until provenance research by staff members now reported pro domo the contrary.[10] The debate is on-going.
Portraits of Vincent van Gogh by other artists[edit]
John Peter Russell, 1886, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam
Photo by Victor Morin, c. 1886, Brussels. Discovered in the early 1990s, experts disagree whether or not it is Vincent van Gogh.[11]
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1887, pastel on cardboard, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam
Paul Gauguin, 1888, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam
Resources[edit]
Due to the considerable number of self-portraits by Van Gogh 's, for a valid identification reference is to the numbers of Jacob Baart de la Faille 's Catalogue raisonné (1928 & 1970) (F) or to Jan Hulsker 's updated compilation (1978, revised 1989) (JH).
