WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Saturday, June 18, in conjunction with the opening of its newest exhibition "Rodin in the United States: Confronting the Modern," the Clark Art Institute hosts a lecture by Antoinette Le Normand-Romain, the exhibition curator and former director general of the National Institute of the History of Art in Paris. 

 

The lecture is presented live in the Clark's auditorium and broadcast simultaneously on Zoom at 11 am.

 

"Rodin in the United States: Confronting the Modern" features some fifty sculptures and twenty-five drawings, including both familiar masterpieces and lesser-known works. The exhibition tells the story of the collectors, agents, art historians, and critics who endeavored to make Rodin known in America and considers the artist's influence and reputation in the U.S. from 1893 to the present.
