The most recent version of the Foundation’s large survey exhibition, Rodin: A Magnificent Obsession, was a retrospective of the artist’s career and included more than sixty bronzes, from small studies to monumental works. It represented the sculptor’s major projects and innovations – such The Gates of Hell, The Monument to the Burghers of Calais, and Monument to Balzac. The exhibition spanned the length of Rodin’s career from his early bust of his father to his late studies of dancing figures. It included many of his most admired pieces: The Thinker, The Three Shades, The Kiss, Mask of the Man with the Broken Nose, The Age of Bronze, Saint John the Baptist Preaching, and The Cathedral.

In addition to bronzes, the exhibition included works on paper, portraits of the artist by other sculptors and photographers, and an educational model that demonstrated the complexities of the lost-wax process, Rodin’s favored method of casting bronzes.

The exhibition visited twenty-six museums in Canada, the United States, Australia, and Singapore:
