Original Post, 5/12/08: The Yale University Art Gallery in Downtown New Haven is pleased to exhibit side by side, for the first time ever, two of Vincent van Gogh's most renowned paintings: Cypresses and The Starry Night. Completed in June 1889, during his yearlong confinement at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, in southern France, these two paintings exemplify the work of this modern master at the height of his creativity. On view June 15–September 7, 2008. To ensure an unrushed visiting experience, free timed tickets will be available beginning May 29.
