OPENING IN DALLAS ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2025

Akim Monet Fine Arts presents Time Capsule — Rodin — The Sculpted Voice, a landmark exhibition that brings together early casts, intimate studio studies, and monumental bronzes produced today under the stewardship of the Musée Rodin.

Highlights include Eve, Saint Jean-Baptiste, the Standing Faunesse, the Hand of God, and the lyrical La Voix intérieure (The Inner Voice). Smaller bronzes evoke the atmosphere of Rodin’s atelier, while photographs of monumental sculptures frame the dialogue between intimacy and grandeur — among them the Monument to Victor Hugo, the 13-foot Homme qui marche sur colonne (Walking Man), and La Porte de l’Enfer (The Gates of Hell). Together, these works form a true “time capsule” — preserving Rodin’s sculpted voice while revealing its extraordinary vitality across time.
