I n May, his record was busted twice in quick succession, when a painting sold for $9.3 million at Sotheby’s New York and then, seven days later, another hammered down for $10.3 million at Christie’s Hong Kong. I n the first half of this year, his total sales at auction reached $39.3 million, according to Artnet Analytics. Today, primary access to Ghenie’s work is tighter than ever, and flippers are having a fiesta. Collectors have been clamoring for his semi-abstract compositions since he burst onto the international scene around a decade ago. In the art industry, the Romanian painter is a celebrity. That’s how conversations about Adrian Ghenie usually go. If you would like to publish text from MoMA’s archival materials, please fill out this permission form and send to.

Publication excerpt from MoMA Highlights: 375 Works from The Museum of Modern Art, New York (New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 2019) Dominated by vivid blues and yellows applied with gestural verve and immediacy, The Starry Night also demonstrates how inseparable van Gogh’s vision was from the new procedures of painting he had devised, in which color and paint describe a world outside the artwork even as they telegraph their own status as, merely, color and paint. Van Gogh assigned an emotional language to night and nature that took them far from their actual appearances. And although certain features of the sky have been reconstructed as observed, the artist altered celestial shapes and added a sense of glow. The picturesque village nestled below the hills was based on other views-it could not be seen from his window-and the cypress at left appears much closer than it was. The vision took place at night, yet the painting, among hundreds of artworks van Gogh made that year, was created in several sessions during the day, under entirely different atmospheric conditions. Inspired by the view from his window at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy, in southern France, where the artist spent twelve months in 1889–90 seeking reprieve from his mental illnesses, The Starry Night (made in mid-June) is both an exercise in observation and a clear departure from it. In creating this image of the night sky-dominated by the bright moon at right and Venus at center left-van Gogh heralded modern painting’s new embrace of mood, expression, symbol, and sentiment.
