The Wave (French: La Vague) is an oil on canvas painting by Paul Gauguin, from 1888. It was purchased by David Rockefeller, an American banking executive, in 1966.[1] [2]
It was owned by the Paris-based American writer Alden Brooks by 1934, and later gifted to Filippa Brooks Veren of Big Sur, California, who sold it at auction at the Parke-Bernet Galleries, New York, on 19 May 1966, where it was bought by David Rockefeller.[3]
