We will rub shoulders with Van Gogh (https://www.google.com/search?q=Van+gogh+at+getty&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7GGLJ&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=WtcSUIe-BYaIiALuxoBg&ved=0CEoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=888#hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us%3AIE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7GGLJ&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=van+gogh&oq=van+gogh&gs_l=img.3..0l10.8439.10111.2.10314.8.2.0.2.2.0.454.688.2-1j0j1.2.0...0.0...1c.LMEwUgTAasg&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=2e57c05ca4651930&biw=1920&bih=888), view photographs of Ray K.
