Van Gogh's Descendants: Machteld van Laer with Gloria Groom

When Machteld van Laer, Vincent van Gogh’s great-grandniece, visited Chicago for the opening of “Van Gogh’s Bedrooms,” she spoke to curator Gloria Groom about her family’s role in preserving the artist’s legacy and the thrill of seeing all three Bedroom paintings together for the first time. This critically acclaimed exhibition runs through May 10. Learn more at http://www.artic.edu/exhibition/van-goghs-bedrooms

    I didn’t realize that Theo died young. The world owes Theo’s wife and son a deep debt of gratitude for caring so deeply about Vincent’s art and legacy.
