This exhibition ran in 1998 in the three Museums indicated in the left column.

"Rodin: Sculpture from the Cantor Collection"

Under this title (with small variations) broad selections from the Cantor Collection were on view in the Museums listed below. My list, based on a online search through Museum Websites and various press articles published on the Internet may not be complete, but it will probably guide you to the most important stations of the show. The size of the exhibitions varied from ca. 50 to as much as 130 sculptures.

16 April 2000 -13 August 2000: Rodin Festival

In the year 2000, the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh was hosting 130 well-known sculptures by Rodin, including The Thinker and The Kiss to figures and groups drawn from The Gates of Hell, The Burghers of Calais and the Monument to Balzac. According to NCCBI, the show attracted a record 304,066 visitors, averaging 2,842 visitors per day during its 107-day run. The show ended with a 34-hour Rodin marathon festival. The works were mainly on loan from the Cantor Collection. Museum press releases claimed the event to be the largest U.S. exhibition of Rodin’s work in nearly two decades and the most comprehensive ever presented in the Southeast.

The Rodin Festival Webpage used to offer a fine illustrated overview of Rodin´s life, but has been deleted now.

In the overview of the permanent collections, I found sculptures by Bourdelle, Maillol, Lachaise, Degas, Brancusi, but no Rodin work. The Museum did host a Rodin exhibition in 1997 though, consisting of 52 sculptures, drawn from the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Collection, including monumental works, fragments, single and multi-figure pieces, portraits, and maquettes. It focused on Rodin's most productive years, between 1860 and 1908.

Assistant to the Curator: Sue Ladish, sladish@kmaonline.org

Founded in 1961 as the Dulin Gallery of Art, the Knoxville Museum of Art moved into its current facility in World's Fair Park on March 25, 1990.

In 1995 this Museum featured "The Passion of Rodin", an exhibition that attracted a record number of visitors. Nearly hundred Rodin sculptures were on loan from the Cantor Collection. Sue Ladish was so kind to send me the complete list of works exhibited, that also gives a good impression of the scope of the Cantor Collection.
