Author Description

Auguste Rodin was an artist who redefined the idea of the body in sculpture. Marking 100 years since his death in 1917, Rodin's legacy is the wellspring of this major exhibition. Versus Rodin: bodies across space and time brings together key pieces by this pioneer of modern sculpture with an innovative selection of work by leading modern and contemporary artists who have similarly challenged our understanding of the human condition. This exhibition presents a selection of Rodin's bronzes, drawings and prints made between 1878 and 1906 in the company of over 200 works, ranging from Roman marbles c.20 BC-20 AD to contemporary pieces completed in 2017. Published in conjunction with the exhibition held at the Art Gallery of South Australia, 4 March - 2 July 2017.
