Auguste Rodin 

press release

Rodin: A Magnificent Obsession is a complete retrospective of the artist's career and includes more than 60 bronzes, from small studies to monumental works. The works were chosen according to major projects and themes of Rodin's career, such as The Gates of Hell, The Burghers of Calais, and partial figures. The exhibition spans the length of Rodin's career from his earliest bust of his father, Jean Baptiste Rodin, to his later studies of dancing figures. In addition to the bronzes, there are works on paper, photographs, portraits of the artist, and an educational model that demonstrates the complexities of the lost-wax casting process, Rodin's favored method of sculptural reproduction.

Organized and made possible by the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation
