Campaign launched to save Vincent van Gogh’s grave

In the French town of Auvers-sur-Oise, Vincent van Goghs grave is in urgent need of restoration. Van Gogh spent the prolific last 70 days of his life in the village northwest of Paris, painting around one picture a day before shooting himself in the surrounding wheat fields in July 1890. The local council of Auvers-sur-Oise and the Institut Van Gogh, a non-profit organisation dedicated to conserving the places which inspired the artist, are working to raise 1.2m to repair the Notre-Dame-de-lAss
