Rodin: A Magnificent Obsession, Sculpture from the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation is a retrospective of the artist’s career and includes more than 60 bronzes, from small studies to monumental works, which were for the most part cast posthumously from original wax sculptures created by the artist. The works were chosen to convey major projects and themes from throughout Rodin’s career, from his earliest bust of his father, Jean-Baptiste Rodin, to his later studies of dancing figures. In addition to such highlights as cast versions of The Gates of Hell and The Burghers of Calais, the exhibition includes 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 by the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation.
