My goodness I would be SO nervous with Starry Night
If Vincent could see this video... what would he think? At least he would know how appreciated and beloved his art is!?I wish he could have known this during his lifetime.
I would probably cry a lot if i ever were given the chance to be that up close to the Starry Night
what a tease, and why do we only get a few seconds with the naked starry night...
I love seeing the edge of the canvas where it meets the van gogh's brush strokes. seeing that would make me kind of star struck. the very human element of a master piece.
Imagin cleaning and holding a freaking masterpiece
Betye Saar gets around pretty well for 93 years old.
This is such an underrated video! So cool!
The first 60 seconds. Wow.
I don't think Starry Night was intended to have exposed unpainted edges, but that Van Gogh didn't want any of the picture to be hidden behind the frame. In fact it's possible the canvas was framed (In a different frame) before he started painting.

Divertedflight I think they meant how the whole canvas wasn’t fully painted like how there is no paint between brushstrokes ( but idk you may be right)

I have thought that the frames back then had a "deeper" edge to their frame then we have today. If that makes since! I have always wondered that exact thing....great catch on your part! Vincent's painting Irises - his first painting done at the at St. Remy and hangs at the Getty does the same thing!
I could watch this for hours.
I see The Starry Night I click.
Nearly all museums do it. As an artist, I am really amazed that paintings are hung with a nice thick shadow on the tops from the frames. Why?
Again,This is Gonzi from Texas,and I can't thank you enough, for this amazing video,that brings your amazing MOMA to myself,in the comfort of my home!!I always look for ward to a "Vacation "in my mind,when I'm able to see your videos!Great work!!!
I like the "no drills on this" lol epic understatement probably the most valuable painting in existence more so than the Mona Lisa if it went to auction!
Easily one of the five most recognizable art pieces, and you have the opportunity to ensure its longevity. Not sure I could maintain my emotions.
Love free Friday! A wonderful culture Center in NYC! ❤️🤗
9:11 looks incredibly good for her age, she’s really a young soul trapped in a old body
wow I literally have chills
This video is like a work of art in itself!
I'll be there on the 23rd, can't wait :)
Who would thought his paintings would be so fascinating...
My favourite place in the world! I love MoMA
Holding one of the most precious items in the world.
😮😮😮👍💟It's a great video. I like Vincent Van Kork's night story.
A Trip to the Moon! It's on youtube. Definitely worth a watch.
Yes. Finally.
The MoMA in New York City is amazing I highly suggest hanging out in the Picasso gardens. Much like the MET, Guggenheim, The cloister and MAD museum around Columbus circle. The MoMA out of all the museums made me feel the most welcome. I felt like I was at home.
Great Job
7:04 slow-tempo funk music begins to play...
cool to see the Barnett Newman drive in and assemble
I love this so much.
it´s amazing...
It has to be a bit nerve-racking and crazy to handle a half billion dollar piece of art.
Only two episodes left?! Will there be a season 3?
What the?? I was trying to fall asleep this I started freaking with the creaking
Can someone comment if that is a Jute or Linen canvas? I've never used either so I'm a bit ignorant on this. The canvas seems to be so coarse compared to the cotton canvas I use.
I have only ever flatlined once, and it was from watching this video
Nice
💕😊
Howdy!
In person the painting looks more awesome than the video.
Who framed Van Gogh?
Now I understand........
Mr Bean totally ruined any kind of art restoration videos I come across with, since all I can see in my head is him sneezing at an masterpiece and completely destroying it. Lol
Is this tge original starry night painting? Im just curios
WOW! is that the actual painting, i think i would have cold sweats being that close and actually handling it. it is an icon that transcends just art. its sort of unfair to the rest of the art in the video to have to follow the headliner.
⭐️👸🏻🕯🤴🏼⭐️
I like Starry Night, too! 🙂🧶🎨👍🏻 1. The Moon, Stars, & Venus kzread.info/dash/bejne/lZeisc6rcpzYes4.html 2. The Swirling Wind kzread.info/dash/bejne/X6iGu6WgYtHUndY.html
Is this the original painting "Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh? Personally I think that art conservation is great, but I don't think that such a painting should be worth so many millions. In the end it's just a painting that van Gogh painted at a moment in time. When I see how they are worried because of two little cracks that have been there for a long time, and that they want to check it under the microscope, that's when I think it's exaggerated. In the end it's just a painting. There are living artists out there that make better paintings today and they have trouble to sell their paintings. The art world is totally crazy. When I see that this action painting by Pollock is worth many millions, then I don't understand it. It's just color action dripped over a ground. Everybody can do that.
i would fuck this up real quick i have no hand eye coordination
Starry Night is perhaps the second most famous painting in the world after the Mona Lisa. I do not like how these people have handled the painting. It’s priceless and it deserves the upmost of respect.
So starry night was a clickbait ..
Why don’t they allow the paintings to age?

Old varnish on paintings turns into a dark yellow and brown, making the artwork difficult to see, and colors monochromatic. Untreated cracks and tears in the paint and canvas speeds deterioration of the artwork. Paintings should be in the contrition artists intended them to be.

some believe art should be viewed the way the artist intended it to be viewed. cracks and missing paint may also distract from the image as a whole, depending on how poorly the painting has aged

If you don't stop it from destroying they soon completely vanish. I have my old paintings and I don't do anything to preserve them, they destroy completely.

Is that a serious question ?
first!

Yo! finger tips on Starry Night?! Who's in charge of this madness. Y'all need hazmat suits and real gloves. Otherwise give this back to Amsterdam or France. Did we forget that this is the second most recognized and second most important painting in the history of Western culture?
Ok, the paintings and film were beautiful, but that art in the middle with the creaking shit was goofy. I’m sorry, I hate modern art so much. Show me more Vincent
I hate when peoples fingers get do close to a painting. She could of lost her balance and put her finger thru the painting.
Seriously? Starry Night going up against great artists making a 5 gallon water bottle with a badminton racket stuck in it? Starry night competing with two mixing bowls and an automotive oil funnel? Starry night competing with an old rusty milk vessel or welding mask or PVC pipes with a plunger sticking out? Come on! How is Starry night to compete with such great art?
Uhhh that is not okay to be doing touch ups on a painting with a bare hand. Even if they’re sparkling clean. Do what painters actually do and get a stick to rest your hand on to not end up on the painting.
