Current Exhibitions
Rodin: A Magnificent Obsession
Sculpture from the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Foundation
April 17 – July 13, 2008
William and Anna Jane Schlossman Gallery & Jane L. Stern Gallery
The Foundation's large survey exhibition, Rodin: A Magnificent Obsession, is a complete retrospective of the artist's career and includes more than 60 bronzes, from small studies to monumental works. The works were chosen according to major projects and themes of Rodin's career (such as The Gates of Hell, The Burghers of Calais, and partial figures). The exhibition spans the length of Rodin's career from his earliest bust of his father, Jean Baptiste Rodin, to his later studies of dancing figures. In addition to the bronzes, there are works on paper, photographs, portraits of the artist, and an educational model that demonstrates the complexities of the lost-wax casting process, Rodin's favored method of sculptural reproduction.

Fred Donath, Jr. Memorial Gallery
Keys to the Collection can be thought of as the art collection of Fargo-Moorhead. The art in this exhibition reflects the aesthetic interests of our various communities. Most of the art in the permanent collection was either donated by local collectors or acquired from local and regional artists. The exhibition is rotated annually to feature recent acquisitions while continuing to exhibit favorites and "old friends."
