“Immersive Van Gogh,” the high-tech, greatly acclaimed art installation that celebrates the work of the iconic Dutch painter, will officially open in New York on June 10 with a number of new and unique features.
Created by Italian film producer Massimiliano Siccardi, with original music by composer Luca Longobardi, “Immersive Van Gogh” will be on display in New York through September 6 at Pier 36, a 70,000-square-foot facility on the East River of Manhattan. The exhibition also is currently or will be on display in 18 other cities across North America.

Michael BrosilowThe New York iteration of “Immersive Van Gogh” will offer over 500,000 cubic feet of animated projections—created by almost 100-state-of-the-art projectors—of the painter’s most famous works, including his 1887 Self Portrait With Grey Felt Hat, Bedroom in Arles from 1888, three iris paintings from 1889 and 1890, and The Starry Night from 1889, which is on display at the Museum of Modern Art further uptown.
What will make New York’s “Immersive Van Gogh” exhibition special and different from other iterations will be the contributions of David Korins, creator of set designs for Broadway musicals such as Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen, and production designer for the 2019 Academy Awards; and Nathan Phillips, cofounder of Technology, Humans And Taste, a New York agency that employs technology to create concepts, campaigns, and products.
