The Dutch art circles were quicker to organize a Rodin solo
exhibition than their colleagues in London, Berlin, Vienna or Prague, so
that in 1899, even before Rodin erected his own Pavillion at the Paris
World Exhibition, Rodin´s first solo exhibtions took place in the
Netherlands. It was the newcomer Rotterdam Art Circle that invited Rodin
first; the respectable Pulchri Studio and Arti et Amicitiae circles
in The Hague and Amsterdam immediately reacted to this coup. At her
opening speech at the Arti exhibition - Rodin already having
returned to France- Judith Cladel found it dífficult to raise
enthusiasm in the Amsterdam audience, though.
In 1930, a Rodin exhibition was held at the Stedelijk Museum in
Amsterdam and the City Museum in The Hague, in cooperation with the
Buffa Gallery, then owned by W.H. Singer jr. Only then, Rodin work was
bought through this gallery. For the 1956 exhibition, the Burghers of
Calais and the complete Gates of Hell were transported to Amsterdam;
since then, no major Rodin exhibition was held here, much of the
public´s attention being absorbed by Dutch Masters like Rembrandt (whom
Rodin admired fervently) and Rodin´s contemporary Vincent van Gogh (of
whom Rodin had collected some paintings).
The Stedelijk Museum owns the following two sculptures, who are on
permanent loan to the Van Gogh
Museum (next door) and can be seen there on the third floor of the
Rietveld building:
 Jean d´Aire
("De Sleuteldrager"), 1884-86,
bronze, over-lifesize version,
foundry mark Alexis Rudier, H. 80¾"
(one of four over-lifesize versions worldwide)
Madame
Fenaille, 1898, plaster
Victor
Hugo drypoint

Single sculptures are also in possesion of the Cities of Rotterdam
(Walking Man, bronze, and others) Eindhoven (Balzac, 1897, bronze),
Zwolle (Adam, bronze) and Den Haag (Age of Bronze, see below)

In 1995, the Gemeemtemuseum organized - together with the Singer
Museum in Laren and supported by the Musée Rodin in Paris- an
exhibition dedicated to Rodin and especially his relation to Holland and
his friendship with Philippe Zilcken. In 1899, Rodin had exposed his
works in Rotterdam, Amsterdam und Den Haag. The 1995 exhibition was the
first major Rodin exhibition in Holland after the 1956 exhibition in the
Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. The 1995 Den Haag Exposition took place in
an affiliate of the Gemeentemuseum, the so called Paleis (Palace):

The Singer Museum owes its original collection to the American
collector and painter W.H. Singer. The collection is focused on Dutch
and French Art of the 1880-1950 period. A great attraction is the
sculpture garden (admission free) which shows, among others, Rodin´s
Thinker.
The Singer Museum participated in the 1995 Dutch Rodin exhibition
(see above). From 20 January till 22 April 2001, an exhibition on
Camille Claudel and her relation to Rodin took place: From the Shadow of
Rodin. The exhibition, organized in collaboration with Paul Claudel´s
granddaughter Reine-Marie Paris, showed a number of recently
re-discovered Claudel works.

The Kröller-Müller Museum houses a world famous collection of fine
art with an extensive range of works by Vincent van Gogh.
The Kröller-Müller Museum owes its existence to Helene
Kröller-Müller (1869-1939), the daughter of a German industrialist. In
1961 the museum was enhanced by a sculpture garden, followed in 1977 by
a new wing. One of the largest in Europe, this sculpture garden displays
sculptural art from the end of the 19th century up to the present day,
with pieces by Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Richard
Serra, Mario Merz, Jean Dubuffet and Claes Oldenburg.
