Most useful mail here is about chronology: a work placed in the wrong period, a date that contradicts the letters, or a catalogue number that does not match.
Vincent van Gogh Paintings is compiled by one person. Replies usually go out within two to three working days.
If a canvas is filed under Arles that was painted in Paris, or under Auvers that belongs to Saint-Rémy, say which entry and what the correct date is. Period assignment is the thing this catalogue most wants to get right.
Reference numbers are the connective tissue between this site and the printed literature. A mismatch makes an entry useless to a researcher, and reports of one are acted on quickly.
Works are reattributed, lent, sold and restored. If an entry describes a picture as it was rather than as it is, that is worth an email.
This address cannot authenticate a painting, and it will not offer an opinion on whether an unrecorded canvas is by van Gogh. Please do not send provenance documents, family histories or photographs of a work you believe to be his: attribution in this field is settled by technical examination at a specialist institution, and nothing said by this catalogue would carry any weight.
