The Centre d’Art Rodin (Shanghai) has launched its opening exhibition, providing a comprehensive look at Auguste Rodin’s artistic career. The show highlights his influence on both 19th-century Neoclassicism and 20th-century modern sculpture. Featuring 106 original works, including sculptures, paintings, ceramics, and videos, the exhibition includes masterpieces like The Thinker, The Bronze Age, Eve, Balzac, and The Burghers of Calais from the Musée Rodin in France, as well as clay versions being displayed for the first time in Shanghai. Additionally, about 30 works by 17 artists closely associated with Rodin—such as his teacher, friends, students, and followers—offer a broader view of the sculpture scene in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This exhibition is a rare opportunity to explore Rodin’s enduring influence on modern art.
