Auguste Rodin (1840 – 1917)revolutionized sculpture and the representation of the human body. In March 2017 the Art Gallery of South Australia presented an Australian first.

Versus Rodin: Bodies across space and time, brings the work of Rodin into dialogue with over 200 modern and contemporary works of art, 100 years since the artist’s death.

Regarded today as the artist who ignited an artistic revolution that changed the direction of sculpture, Rodin’s legacy– his expressive vision, his rejection of narrative and embrace of process, seen through his experimental and seemingly unfinished surfaces – is the wellspring for this major exhibition.

Versus Rodin was anchored by keyRodin works of art from across Australia including the Art Gallery’s significant collection of 20 bronze sculptures, the largest collection in the Southern Hemisphere. Other featured artists included Louise Bourgeois, Antony Gormley, William Kentridge, Bharti Kher, Rosemary Laing, Ugo Rondinone andKara Walker among others.

Presented as part of the 2017 Adelaide Festival, Versus Rodin: Bodies across space ran from 4 March to 2 July 2017,exclusive to the Art Gallery of South Australia.
