Public Installation

Auguste Rodin
Monument à Whistler – Muse nue, bras coupés

September 7, 2021–March 2022
Berkeley Square, London

Auguste Rodin’s Monument à Whistler – Muse nue, bras coupés (Monument to Whistler – Nude Muse, without Arms) (1908) has been installed in Berkeley Square, London, in conjunction with the exhibition Houseago | Rodin, on view at Gagosian, Davies Street, London, through December 18. Rodin was commissioned to make a monument dedicated to the artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Though it was never realized publicly, the monument marks a watershed moment in civic sculpture due to its representation not of the artist himself but of a female muse. The sculpture, in the form of a female figure shown climbing the “mountain of fame,” references the difficulties Whistler overcame in his life.

Picasso-Rodin

Musée national Picasso–Paris and Musée Rodin, Paris
www.museepicassoparis.fr

Held simultaneously at two Parisian institutions, this exhibition offers a unique encounter between the works of Pablo Picasso and Auguste Rodin, two artists whose formal inventions marked a decisive turning point in modern art. Picasso-Rodin highlights unexpected convergences in their creative processes and explores their common practice of working serially and their shared taste for experimentation and ever-changing forms.

The Making of Rodin

May 18–November 21, 2021
Tate Modern, London
www.tate.org.uk

This major exhibition is the first to focus on the importance of plaster in Auguste Rodin’s work. Although the artist is best known for his bronze and marble sculptures, he himself worked as a modeler who captured movement, light, and volume in pliable materials such as clay and plaster. Evoking the atmosphere of the artist’s studio, plaster casts in all sizes show how Rodin continually experimented with fragmentation, repetition, and joining existing parts in unconventional ways.
