BE@RBRICK Van Gogh Museum The Yellow House (The Street) 400% + 100%

The Yellow House (The Street) uses the yellow architecture and blue sky of Van Gogh’s 1888 painting from Arles. The house was connected with his ambition to establish a shared artists’ workplace, the Studio of the South. On the BE@RBRICK version, street details are distributed across the head, body and limbs, so the composition is read by turning the object. This is a MEDICOM TOY and Van Gogh Museum 100% + 400% collaboration, rather than a miniature canvas. Its warm architectural palette differs clearly from Almond Blossom.

Collaboration and design

Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch painter whose approach to colour and brushwork helped shape modern art. The collaboration between MEDICOM TOY and the Van Gogh Museum carries details from his paintings onto a three-dimensional form. It is a contemporary collectible based on a painting, rather than an original work by the artist or a paper print. Turning the figure reveals different parts of the composition, replacing a single frontal image with a sequence of coloured surfaces.

Compare front and rear views to see how fragments of the painting are distributed around the volume. The museum’s attribution is useful for understanding the original artwork.
