PARIS: A painting by a young Vincent Van Gogh was sold at an auction here today for more than seven million euros ($8.2 million), the Artcurial auction house said.
Raccommodeuses de filets dans les dunes (Women mending nets in the fields) dates from 1882 and was bought by an American collector in a hot bidding battle that boosted the selling price far above the estimated value of between three to five million euros.
“It’s a world record for a Van Gogh landscape, in the Dutch period, sold at auction,” Artcurial said. “There are no more than two or three auctions of Van Gogh works in the world each year,” the auction house added.
In France, Monday’s event was the first auction of a painting by the Dutch artist in more than two decades. Van Gogh painted the work early in his career when he was 29 years old.
“We already find all the characteristics of a Vincent painting, especially his treatment of landscape… a remarkable work, a milestone in the artist’s career,” said Bruno Jaubert, associate director of modern art at Artcurial.
It was the only landscape Van Gogh did at the time, painted in the countryside near The Hague, Jaubert said.
A relevant piece published earlier: Therapeutic experts and art historians here have conducted a meeting sponsored by the Van Gogh Museum in association with its recent exposition On the Verge of Insanity apropos Vincent van Gogh death cause. They have come to the conclusion that troubled Dutch artist experienced psychosis in last 18 months, however they could not find out the exact cause of his psychological infirmity. According to the reports, the meeting was carried out under the supervision of some 35 international psychiatrists, other doctors and art historians who pondered over the facts related to van Gogh’s medical case. A professor of art history from the University of Amsterdam, Louis van Tilborgh who is carrying out a study into the life and work of van Gogh held: “It’s difficult to make a diagnosis, so the real progress we’ve made is that specialists in the field are talking about it, and they’ve never done this before.”
They have also pointed out that in 1888 he cut his own ear and this could be the result of alcohol or stress. Since he died of a gunshot wound in July 29, 1890, there have been many rumors that the artist suffered from bipolar disorder, temporal lobe epilepsy, syphilis, and schizophrenia. Nevertheless, Werner Strik, a professor of psychiatry and director of the University Hospital of Psychiatry, in Bern, Switzerland stated: “Psychosis is a syndrome, a combination of symptoms. The essential symptoms for psychosis that we agreed on that he had were hallucinations, acoustic hallucinations, optical hallucinations and also delusions, hyper-excitation with confusional states, incoherent speech and unclear memory about the episodes.” He further maintained: “Van Gogh underwent short psychotic occurrences or irregular psychosis, because in psychosis, everyone thinks of schizophrenia, and schizophrenia is long-lasting, a chronic disease without insight, without introspection, without the fear of relapse.”
