From the creators of the exhibit in Paris seen by more than two million visitors, the U.S. premiere of the IMMERSIVE VAN GOGH EXHIBIT brings the art of Van Gogh to life in Chicago. Experience art like never before—lose yourself in 500,000 cubic feet of flawless projections animating Van Gogh’s oeuvre. Wander through entrancing, moving images that highlight brushstrokes, detail, and color—truly illuminating the mind of the genius. Visitors will be immersed in Van Gogh’s works—from his sunny landscapes and night scenes to his portraits and still life paintings. The installation includes the Mangeurs de pommes de terre (The Potato Eaters, 1885), the Nuit étoilée (Starry Night, 1889), Les Tournesols (Sunflowers, 1888), and La Chambre à coucher (The Bedroom, 1889), and more. Custom-designed to its location at Chicago’s Germania Club, the exhibition transforms the neoclassical into the magical. Designed and conceived by Massimiliano Siccardi, the exhibit also has a soundtrack by Luca Longobardi—both of whom pioneered immersive digital art experiences in France.

Designer, author, and philanthropist Charlotte Moss has long believed that flowers should not be reserved only for the rare occasion but instead are best deployed in everyday living. Moss’ delightful new coffee table book FLOWERS BY CHARLOTTE MOSS brings the garden indoors with inspiration for floral arrangements, container selection, and blossom placement throughout the house.

The photography evidences the visceral pleasure flowers bring to us both indoors and outdoors. Readers will be fascinated as Moss describes the contributions of past tastemakers including Gloria Vanderbilt, Pauline de Rothschild, Bunny Mellon, and C. Z.
