Bowman Sculpture is pleased to present Rodin: Influenced and Inspired, an immersive exhibition of sculpture featuring works by artists that Rodin would have been familiar with and whom directly influenced him, works by Rodin that were landmarks in the history of sculpture and works by several artists who were clearly directly inspired by Rodin.
We start our journey with Alfred Boucher’s Volubilis. The sculpture is a striking example of carving in raw marble, a technique embraced by Rodin for many of his works. Boucher, a close friend of Rodin, won his first Grand Prix at the Paris Salon of 1881, going on to win his second Grand Prix at the Exposition Universelle of 1900. Rodin: Influenced & Inspired includes a unique version of Volubilis carved in the late 1890s.
