Faces and Fables Rodin's Portraiture, Great Commissions, Mythology, and Sculptural Innovations

This captivating showcase will delve into the multifaceted world of Auguste Rodin, one of the most revered sculptors of all time.

The exhibition promises to be particularly special as it is the first Auguste Rodin solo exhibition to be held at the gallery in over six years and will include over 30 sculptures by the revered artist including rare lifetime examples of The Thinker and The Kiss as well as several other elusive examples of his work.

Faces and Fables will offer visitors a comprehensive journey through Rodin's artistic evolution. The exhibition will feature a stunning array of 30 sculptures from his earliest works through to the final pieces of his career and will centre around themes of Rodin’s portraiture, his most famous monumental commissions, mythological sculptures, and his innovative use of assemblage techniques that epitomise his mastery of the medium and which pushed the boundaries of artistic expression long before such techniques gained widespread recognition in the art world.
