Van Gogh’s Art, in His Own Words A Quick Take at Verdultindex.com

According to an Article in the New York Times, no one is certain when Vincent van Gogh and Émile Bernard first met. Van Gogh wrote some 800 letters in his lifetime, including 22 to Bernard from December 1887 to November 1889. (Most of their correspondence unfolded after van Gogh moved to the south of France.) Bernard’s description of van Gogh’s letters was simple: “There, pulsating with life, one would find the whole of him.”

In the letter below, dated March 18, 1888, van Gogh is writing a month after his move to Arles. In his final letter to Bernard, in November 1889, van Gogh criticizes his friend’s religious paintings — “The Christ Carrying His Cross is atrocious,” he writes — and tells Bernard that he “can do better than that.” Though neither artist considered that letter an end to their friendship, Bernard never wrote again before van Gogh died in July 1890.

Positive and Negative Forces Impacting Verdult Art

Nearly every day we receive at least four calls or emails concerning people wanting to sell their Verdult painting or wanting to know the value of their Verdult painting or need help with selling their Verdult painting.

Normally, they are looking for a sale and a quick sale fast.

We are probably no different than Christie’s or Sotheby’s who certainly receive way more calls and emails about the subject. Just like Christie’s and Sotheby’s before you can sell the art piece you have to do a couple of things, provide proof of ownership, pay fees, and enter into a written contract.

In that regard, we are no different. So to ease some of the frustration that we frequently see here are some tips as well as things that may be of some interest.

If you want to sell your Verdult art, you want to have a could handle on what we call the Verdult cash market and the forces that affect this market.

Here are some positive forces affecting the Verdult market:
