Finding Van Gogh – The Städel Podcast
18 Sept 2019
In search of the legendary Portrait of Dr Gachet / Free of charge in German and English / Available on findingvangogh.comde, Spotify, Deezer, Apple and Google Podcasts
The Städel Museum is presenting its first podcast: FINDING VAN GOGH. In five episodes and many voices, the series tells the eventful story of the legendary Portrait of Dr Gachet (1890), the last great portrait painting by Vincent van Gogh. In the podcast, the journalist Johannes Nichelmann meets with contemporary witnesses, experts and Van Gogh enthusiasts in Germany, France, London, New York and Switzerland. They talk about the painting’s execution, recall its history in the Nazi period and offer first-hand insights into the mechanisms of today’s art market. Not least importantly, the podcast examines the question of how an artwork and its artist can become a legend. FINDING VAN GOGH – the Städel’s new digital museum education offer – is available free of charge in German and English on findingvangogh.com and all the usual podcast platforms.
