Van Gogh, Dali and Beyond: The World Reimagined, Now until December 2
The Art Gallery of WA's third exhibition from New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), Van Gogh,

features 134 master works by 96 artists - from Frida Kahlo's confident self-portrait to Gerhard
Richter's blurred likeness; from Paul Cézanne's iconic table top still life to Jeff Koons' shiny
commodities; from Vincent van Gogh's rolling olive trees to Richard Long's land art – providing a
break from tradition and inventing radical new forms that transformed the art of the twentieth century.
