Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art Extends Cantor Rodin Exhibition
The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City continues to host a large and stunning group of Rodins from the Cantor Collections. On loan until the end of 2013, this group of bronzes emphasizes Rodin’s Gates of Hell, featuring many of the pieces done originally for this major work of the 1880s, as well as other pieces related to his many monuments, like Balzac in a Dominican Robe, Monument to Claude Lorrain, and reductions of The Burghers of Calais. We’ve also lent a group of Rodin hands, among of his most provocative and fascinating works, that are often overlooked because of their size.
