RODIN-WEB Press Archive on posthumous casting


Since most Internet content tends to be removed or deleted with time, I created an archive of press and internet articles that I saved from the Web, as a service to the academic community. All texts deal with the topic of posthumous casting, originality and especially the controversial exhibition of the Maclaren plasters at the Royal Ontario Museum.

Moreover, this archive offers you access to relevant parts from the correspondence the RODIN-WEB developed with the MacLaren Art Centre in June, in order to learn more about the background of the MacLaren donation. It was from this correspondence the Toronto Symposium concept was derived.

The intention of this archive is to guarantee all participants in this debate always have access to these source texts for academic research and reference. The copyright of these texts remains with the authors and/or original publishers. You will find the links to the original web addresses at the top of each paper. If you quote these texts in your own publication, please indicate the orginal source and that you used our RODIN-WEB service.
