    Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 2002. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam 2002 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012200201_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 7 Director's foreword In 2003 the Van Gogh Museum will have been in existence for 30 years. Our museum is thus still a relative newcomer on the international scene. Nonetheless, in this fairly short period, the Van Gogh Museum has established itself as one of the liveliest institutions of its kind, with a growing reputation for its collections, exhibitions and research programmes. The past year has been marked by particular success: the Van Gogh and Gauguin exhibition attracted record numbers of visitors to its Amsterdam venue. And in this Journal we publish our latest acquisitions, including Manet's The jetty at Boulogne-sur-mer, the first important work by this artist to enter any Dutch public collection. By a happy coincidence, our 30th anniversary coincides with the 150th of the birth of Vincent van Gogh. As we approach this milestone it seemed to us a good moment to reflect on the current state of Van Gogh studies. For this issue of the Journal we asked a number of experts to look back on the most significant developments in Van Gogh research since the last major anniversary in 1990, the centenary of the artist's death. Our authors were asked to filter a mass of published material in differing areas, from exhibition publications to writings about fakes and forgeries. To complement this, we also invited a number of specialists to write a short piece on one picture from our collection, an exercise that is intended to evoke the variety and resourcefulness of current writing on Van Gogh.

    2005-06 SEASON IN REVIEW or the TCU women’s tennis team, the 2005-06 season was filled with many historical milestones. The Frogs finished the Fseason ranked 15th in the nation in the final Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) poll, which ties the highest finish since the 1979-80 season. The program made history when it became the first TCU women’s program to host the opening rounds of the NCAAs. The NCAA home-court advantage for the Frogs coupled with the 11 match win-streak they were riding, helped TCU topple nationally-ranked Texas to advance in the Championship and make their first-ever Sweet 16 appearance. All indications from the outset proved the Frogs would have a strong year as the team earned a preseason ranking of No. 14 according to the ITA poll. The preseason ranking tied a school record that was initially set in April of 1982 and later equaled in February 2005. Four Frogs were ranked in the top 50 in singles, setting a school record and one doubles tandem was placed in the top 50 as well. TCU notched their first big win of the season by knocking off seventh-ranked Vanderbilt, 4-3, at the USTA/ITA National Team Indoors. Beating the Commodores tied a TCU school record for highest ranked team defeated. It was set in the 2004-05 season with a win over Clemson. After their run at the National Team Indoors, the Frogs catapulted four spots in the polls to claim the No. 12 ranking which was the highest ranking in program history.

His enthusiasm was paramount to this paper’s completion. Thank you to Professor Ikumi Kaminishi who has advised the latter half of my college career. I am lucky to have worked with someone so supportive and brilliant, whose challenging Theories and Methods class forced me to become a better art historian. Thank you to Professor Malcolm Turvey for joining this project on a topic only half- related to the field in which he is so respected. I only wish my thesis could have been more relevant to his knowledge and utilized his expertise more.
