Rodin: In His Own Words, June 13–August 16
This summer, LUMA is proud to exhibit Rodin: In His Own Words, Selections from the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation. This traveling exhibition features the work of the French artist Auguste Rodin, whose most famous sculptures include The Thinker and the Gates of Hell. In His Own Words features 35 bronze sculptures spanning the length of Rodin’s artistic legacy, as well as excerpts of Rodin’s writing and photographs that reveal the artist’s thought processes and artistic techniques.
The sculptures are paired with quotations from Rodin, which illuminate his ideas about art. At the height of his career, Rodin was regarded as the greatest sculptor since Michelangelo. LUMA is thrilled to collaborate with the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation in presenting this significant Rodin exhibition. LUMA will also offer public programs in conjunction with the exhibit, including a French chamber music series and a series of lectures on Rodin and French art traditions by recognized scholars.
