Gogh "The artist on the road to Tarascon"
Produced in Arles in 1888 - Lost in 1945
It was Sue board, and it followed strange fate in the middle of World War 2, and disappeared but reappeared and opened it to the public from 2018/11/3, and permanent construction displayed whole body Self-portrait "The artist on the road to Tarascon" of the Gogh one and only that the Otsuka Museum of Art to the actual size.
Kaiser Friedrich Museum of city Magdeburg of former East Germany (existing Magdeburg culture history Museum ) possessed this work in the last years of World War 2 and evacuated it in 1943 in the huge salt mine in the depth of approximately 460m below ground to escape from an air strike. Afterwards, this ground was released by U.S. forces, and some works were discovered, but this work has disappeared like an art without being found. It is said that what a further basement searches for is impossible without being allowed even to look for destination until East-West unification of 1990 in Germany because it was East Germany domain because it is dangerous to what enter the salt mine now.
It is Van Gogh's reproduction in 2014 that Otsuka Museum of Art reproduces the lost masterpiece "The Sunflower" of the illusion it is the second work. Because I can store the Ceramic Art Board semipermanently without a color being discolored, I think that I can contribute to the way of the record preservation of not only the appreciation experience at the actual size but also the cultural assets very much.
