Cantor Collections Exhibition to Travel to Six Museums
2012 exhibition at University of Laverne
Beginning in October, a new exhibition organized by the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Foundation begins a three-year tour of American art museums. The show, entitled Rodin: The Human Experience, Selections from the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Collections, continues the Cantor tradition of sharing its great Rodin sculpture collections with the public. Opening at Memphis’ Dixon Gallery and Gardens on 19 October 2014, the exhibition reveals all aspects of Rodin’s work as the artist who bridged the divide between tradition and modernism in sculpture. From the Dixon it travels to the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown PA, where it opens on 28 February 2015. The exhibition, comprised of 32 pieces, will be augmented at these first two venues with the addition of 18 Rodin portrait bronzes and two portraits of Rodin.
Following these showings, the exhibition travels to the Honolulu Museum of Art in 2015, then to the San Antonio Museum of Art and the Joel & Lila Harnett Museum of Art at the University of Richmond in 2016. The following year it will be seen at the Flint Institute of Arts. Foundation Director Judith Sobol welcomes inquiries from additional museums about scheduling the exhibition.
