With the dispersion of this collection, Artcurial highlights the talent of the woman who was sculptor August Rodin’s colleague, mistress and muse, and whose career came to a shattering end following psychiatric internment and death in quasi-anonymity.

« From the de Massary collection, the name of the Camille Claudel’s sister’s husband, this set of 20 works is exceptional. The scarcity of the pieces is a measure of Camille Claudel’s total production during the course of her life, barely a hundred of pieces, the media diversity that traces the sculptor’s creative journey and of course, the family provenance. » Bruno Jaubert, Deputy Director of the Modern Art department, Artcurial

Very best,
