Presented in six volumes with a slipcase, beautifully designed, printed and bound, this definitive new edition will give pleasure to specialists and general readers alike, superseding all previous editions in its ambition and up-to-date scholarship.
- Over 4,300 illustrations - every work to which Van Gogh refers is reproduced.
- New transcriptions of all the original letters to or from Van Gogh make this the definitive edition.
- New translations render Van Gogh's words more closely than ever before.
- New scholarship: fifteen years of new research have added to our understanding of Van Gogh's life and work and, for the first time, the letters are fully annotated.
- New material: previously unknown letters and fragments are published in English for the first time.
- Authoritative editing: many omissions and misreadings in previous editions have been corrected.
- All the letters, both in the Van Gogh Museum and those in other museums, archives and private collections are included.
- Supplementary texts add information about his life, the context in which the letters were written, a list of materials discussed in the letters, a chronology of his life and a full index.
- Exemplary design: the typography and design is by Wim Crouwel, one of Holland's most accomplished book designers of the last fifty years.
