00:00From America's Midwest to New Zealand, and then on to Adelaide,
00:07a rare chance to see works from Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio.
00:11This is the first time that Toledo has let so many treasures, 57 of them, out of the country.
00:19Among them, this Van Gogh, one of the Dutch artist's largest paintings created in rural France not long before he died.
00:26There is simply nothing like experiencing the painterly qualities and the energised mark of a Van Gogh painting.
00:36Also featured, paintings by Monet, Signac, Matisse and Whistler.
00:41The exhibition traces the development of modern art in the US and Europe,
00:45from Impressionism to Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract Impressionism.
00:50You know, we think about these artists, they really were at the vanguard of creating of art across this period.
00:56It's the first of four major exhibitions the gallery will stage under a $10 million annual winter program.
01:03The 57 paintings will sit alongside 50 works from the gallery's own collection.
01:08I'm bringing out a selection of work on paper from our collection, and really to tell a deeper story.
