Rodin Sculpture Topic of Lunchtime Talk - December 27, 2007
WILLIAMSTOWN - Auguste Rodin's sculpture of "Man with a Serpent" is the subject of the next Looking at Lunchtime Talk on Thursday, Jan. 10, at 12:30 at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute.
Danielle Steinmann, assistant curator of education, will lead this free half-hour gallery talk on a famous sculpture with a "family" history.
"I was almost hoping you wouldn't like it, as I would like to have had it myself," wrote Sterling Clark on June 25, 1914, to his brother Stephen on a note sent with the gift of the sculpture. Years later, when the brothers were no longer on speaking terms, Stephen sold the sculpture to a dealer. To keep the relative peace between the estranged brothers, a secret deal was struck and Sterling once again purchased the sculpture, this time keeping it for himself.
The series continues on Thursday, Feb. 14, with senior curator Richard Rand discussing drawings by Claude Lorrain. The talks take place at 12:30 on the second Thursday of every month. Attendees may purchase food from the courtyard cafe or bring a bag lunch to enjoy before or after the talk.
The Clark is at 225 South St. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 to 5. Admission is free through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu |
