“The Thinker” Returns to Stanford and More

The University of Laverne’s Harris Art Gallery is hosting a superb small show of Rodin sculpture. Organized by the Foundation and comprised of works from the collections of both the Foundation and Iris Cantor, the exhibition of 25 Rodin bronzes and two bronze portrait busts of Rodin may be seen at this Southern California university until March 29.  Foundation Executive Director Judith Sobol gave a private gallery tour for University VIPs prior to the opening, and reports she is impressed by the exhibition’s beautiful installation – kudos to Gallery Director Dion Johnson! – and cogent small catalogue with its essay by University art historian Jon Leaver.

New Year’s Update: Happy 2012

A major installation of more than 40 Rodin sculptures from the Foundation collection and from Iris Cantor’s personal collection, continues at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City (see photo of sculpture during installation).  The show will be up through 2013 and is only the second exhibition to be installed in the lobby of the Museum's highly celebrated Bloch Building.  The loans center on Rodin's The Gates of Hell, his sculptures of hands, and his monuments to the Burghers of Calais, Balzac, Claude Lorrain, et. al.

Autumn Updates from Cantor Foundation

Autumn has been a busy time for the Foundation, with special programs centering on Foundation gifts to museums, loans of artworks, openings of scholarly exhibitions accompanied by catalogues funded by the Foundation, and receptions for Foundation-sponsored shows. At The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Foundation is sponsoring an exhibition and catalogue featuring the Museum's superb Alfred Stieglitz Collection. At the beginning of the 20th century, Stieglitz (1864-1946) was America's pioneering dealer in modern art. His collection includes works by O'Keeffe, Picasso, Matisse, Brancusi, Kandinsky, Hartley, Marin, Demuth and Dove. The show, which is on view until January 2, 2012, is the first time the Met's entire Stieglitz Collection -- including many works on paper that are rarely on view -- will be exhibited together, although the collection was acquired by the Met in 1949. At the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco's Legion of Honor, visitors are...
