Traces of Hands: Sculpture and Drawings by Rodin and Bourdelle from the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo JAPAN TOKYO  •  The National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo  •  3 November 2012 - 27 January 2013   The NMWA collection today contains 58 sculptures by Auguste Rodin and 11 by Antoine Bourdelle. These works are not only the core of the NMWA sculpture collection, they are also extremely important holdings of sculpture by these two artists in Japan, both in terms of quantity and quality. And yet, up until now only a portion of these works has been placed on permanent display at the museum, and there has never been an opportunity to display them all together. This exhibition features approximately 90 drawings, prints and sculptures by Rodin and Bourdelle from the NMWA collection.
