Since most Internet content tends to be removed or deleted with time, I
created an archive of press and internet articles that I saved from the
Web, as a service to the academic community. All texts deal with the topic
of posthumous casting, originality and especially the controversial
exhibition of the Maclaren plasters at the Royal Ontario Museum.
Moreover, this archive offers you access to relevant parts from the
correspondence the RODIN-WEB developed with the MacLaren Art Centre in
June, in order to learn more about the background of the MacLaren
donation. It was from this correspondence the Toronto Symposium concept
was derived.
The intention of this archive is to guarantee all
participants in this debate always have access to these source texts for
academic research and reference. The copyright of these texts remains with
the authors and/or original publishers. You will find the links to the
original web addresses at the top of each paper. If you quote these texts
in your own publication, please indicate the orginal source and
that you used our RODIN-WEB service.
