On Tuesday, September 16, 2008, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) hosted a reception to celebrate the opening of Van Gogh and the Colors of the Night (September 21, 2008–January 5, 2009), the first exhibition to examine Vincent van Gogh's lyrical view of the night through nocturnal interiors and landscapes, which he often combined with other longstanding themes of his art. This exhibition includes approximately 24 paintings, 10 drawings, and a selection of letters from all periods of Van Gogh's career, as well as examples of the rich literary sources that influenced his work in this area.  The exhibition is organized by Joachim Pissarro, adjunct curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture, The Museum of Modern Art, and the Bershad Professor of Art History and Director of the Hunter College Galleries, Hunter College, New York; Sjraar van Heugten, head of Collections, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam; and Jennifer Field, curatorial assistant, Department of Painting and Sculpture, The Museum of Modern Art.
