About
A major exhibition on the theme of the relations between Rodin and Great Britain will be held at the Royal Academy of Art in September 2006. At the same time as this event, the Rodin Museum, in partnership with Coskun will present in London about forty original bronzes intended for sale. French legislation only permits twelve copies of each of these original bronzes, which have been produced from moulds included in Rodin's donation to the French State in 1916.In addition to the studies connected with the monuments to Balzac, Victor Hugo and The Burghers of Calais, as well as the Whistler Muse, commissioned from Rodin in 1903 on the death of the painter James Mac Neil Whistler, the Coskun Gallery will display a series of sculptures illustrating how Rodin conceived his works in the secrecy of his studios and the silence of solitary creation.
