Health Care Comes to Rodin Sculpture
The Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Foundation actively lends its wonderful collection of Rodin sculpture to museums all over the world. We do this with the assurance that our museum partners take very good care of our sculptures. Yet with the passage of time and with the rigors of crating/ uncrating/crating again — no matter how careful — bronze sculpture periodically needs some TLC from the docs — er, conservators — who know just what to do to keep the artworks healthy both in fact and in appearance.
Thus every few years we bring in our team of conservators to check all the Rodins and to perform as-needed ‘healthcare.’ This happened most recently in October at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens, on the occasion of the then-impending opening of our new traveling show. Here’s a look at our consultant conservators hard at work.
