From over 100,000 artworks in the collection, over 2,000 can be
accessed through an online
Database. Though no Rodin work is found here, it shows an
interesting bronze work by Pierre Bonnard titled "Rodin and Chaste
Suzanne".
In August 1997, the Museum´s receptionist told me there was no Rodin
work in the permanent collection. It was only through the Cleveland
slide library catalog and the Walker Art Museum that I was pointed
to the following Rodin works at the MIA:
 Age of Bronze,
1876-77, bronze, H. 71 x W. 28 x D. 20,
(brown-greenish patina), The John R. Van Derlip Fund
Pierre de Wiessant Nude Study,1884, bronze,H. 75",
given in memory
of Walter Lindeke. This is a study
without the head and hands [Lampert
Nr. 129, pl. 192]

This exhibition began with the museum's earliest
three-dimensional work, Auguste
Rodin's Le Baiser du Fantôme à la Jeune Fille (Phantom Kissing a Young
Girl), ca. 1895, marble, and included Picasso's Le Fou (The Jester),
1905, Maillol's Study for La Meditterané, 1905, and Renoir's Le
Forgeron (The Blacksmith), 1916. This section focuses on modes of
display and the use of sculpture as a contemplative object. The
evolution of pedestal-bound sculpture is demonstrated by contemporary
interpretations by Sherrie Levine, Claes Oldenburg, Thomas Schütte, and
Dorit Cypis.

Exhibition:
100 Years
of Sculpture: From the Pedestal to the Pixel,
22 Febr. - 24 May, 1998
A multi-generational exhibition examining the development of
sculpture and the issues surrounding it which have emerged in the 20th
Century. Drawn primarily from the Walker's permanent collection, the
exhibition analyzed the continuity of sculptural practice and the
ability of the medium to accept and incorporate radical disjunctions
into that continuity.
In 1971, the WAC also featured an exhibition on
Arp, Rodin: 2 March 1971 - 10 April 1971.
A bronze version of Phantom Kissing a Young Girl is in the Reading
Museum in England (23 x 44 x 24 cm, titled Young Woman Kissed by a
Phantom.
