Publisher's summary

Have you ever felt as if you were experiencing a once in a lifetime event at the epicenter of your culture? Maybe it was a music concert, a political rally, a sporting event, or a speech by an important world leader. The occasion could even be a major art show. When the Vincent Van Gogh exhibit toured the world, it drew people from all walks of life, and in each location the exhibit landed, it became the hottest ticket in town. In Washington, D.C. alone, over 480,000 people came to see the show. The crazed momentum of people gathering daily outside the National Gallery of Art to acquire tickets led to some unusual public relations issues, as producer Joe Gill discovers when he visits on the final weekend of the exhibit.
