A painting conservator and a chemist at the Getty Center in Los Angeles may have cracked a mystery contained in the pigment of one of Vincent van Gogh’s most famous works, produced during a fraught moment at the end of his life. • The flowers in van Gogh’s “Irises” (1889), which was the most expensive painting sold at auction at the time when it fetched $53.9 million at Sotheby’s in 1987, were never supposed to be blue, they concluded. • Getty Museum Associate Paintings Conservator Devi Ormond and Getty Conservation Institute Research Chemist Catherine Patterson’s investigative journey into “Irises” led to an exhibition at the Getty called “Ultra-Violet: New Light on Van Gogh’s Irises,” now on view at the Getty Center through January 19. • Read Isa Farfan's full report through the link in bio. • . • . • . • #VanGogh #VincentVanGogh #ArtHistory
