The Van Gogh Museum is deeply grateful to the private donors for their generous five-year support, enabling Franka Blok to be trained as Junior Researcher specializing in Van Gogh's works on paper. She will be supervised by Senior Researcher Teio Meedendorp. Previously Assistant Curator for three years at our museum, Blok aided in acquisitions and contributed to the collection catalogue. Her passion for Van Gogh and works on paper grew during her studies at The Courtauld Institute of Art in London. Franka Blok says, ‘I am delighted to have the opportunity in the years ahead to further explore the (drawn) oeuvre and life of one of the world’s most renowned artists, under the supervision of my expert colleagues at the Van Gogh Museum.’ Read more here: https://ow.ly/agW550SqELJ
