Van Gogh Studies

The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam has long provided a stimulus for research into the art of the period 1830-1914 - with particular emphasis on the life and work of Vincent van Gogh - out of a conviction that research of the highest standard is fundamental to the museum's activities, whether they are directed towards the general public or specialists. The museum, in collaboration with Waanders Publishers has now taken the initiative in publishing a new scholarly series, Van Gogh Studies.

Van Gogh Studies will publish recent, in-depth research of the highest scholarly standards into Van Gogh and related areas of 19th- and early 20th-century art and culture. The new series will be published annually, as an anthology of essays alternating with monographic studies.

Van Gogh Studies aims to provide a forum for the expression of the many diverse, and sometimes contradictory, trends in the study of 19th- and early 20th-centure art. The essays will examine the life and work of Vincent van Gogh and his contemporaries from a variety of perspectives. The contributions are intended as a vehicle for further scholarly research.

The international readership of Van Gogh Studies will include academics, museum curators and researchers, students, and all those interested in late 19th- and early 20-th century art history.
