The Van Gogh exhibition opens at the DIA on March 12 and continues through June 4, 2000. Prices are $16 Monday through Friday, $18 Saturday and Sunday. Organized by The Detroit Institute of Arts, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, this major exhibition celebrates the artists commitment to and love of portraiture and features 70 paintings and drawings that are being brought together from an array of public and private international collections.
