SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
A sales notice reports that 174 works by Auguste Rodin were presented at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900, an indication of the extent of his presence at the event. The works cited in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago reveal several stages of his sculptural practice: Le Bourgeois de Calais (Jean d’Aire) is listed as modelled in 1889, The Walking Man as modelled between 1877 and 1900, and the Portrait de Balzac as modelled in 1893.
In 1864, Rodin attended a course with Antoine Louis Barye and met Rose Beuret. He settled in Meudon in 1893.
In his graphic work, depictions of nudes constitute, according to the sales notice, the greater part of the production.
This profile brings together identity references for Auguste Rodin and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
15 references are documented at Artcurial Beurret Bailly Widmer, Dobiaschofsky, Genève Enchères, Kornfeld, Piguet, Germann, Lempertz. Each record links to its source; the amounts are not a general valuation of the artist’s work.
