Sunflowers By Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh: The Paris Sunflowers (1887)

A Rare Masterpiece with Unparalleled Provenance

We are thrilled to present an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a cornerstone of Post-Impressionist history. Painted during the late summer of 1887, this magnificent still life is one of only four sunflower compositions Van Gogh created during his transformative time in Paris. This rare work captures the explosive genesis of the artist's lifelong fascination with the flower that would ultimately define his legacy.

The Gauguin Connection

The provenance of this painting is nothing short of legendary. This specific work was acquired directly by fellow artistic titan Paul Gauguin. Recognizing its brilliance, Gauguin gave this painting and a companion piece pride of place, hanging them directly above the bed in his Paris apartment. It remained a treasured jewel in his private collection until the mid-1890s, when Gauguin reluctantly parted with his most prized possessions to finance his historic, career-defining voyage to the South Seas.

An Institutional Pedigree

Opportunities to acquire works from this pivotal 1887 series are virtually non-existent on the private market, as its sister paintings are permanently housed in the world's most prestigious institutions:

A Piece of Art History:
