Gerald Cantor Foundations! The Foundation organized our current Rodin: Contemplation and Dreams exhibition, featuring 45 sculptures, all culled from the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Collections. Sobol is the ultimate expert on all things Rodin, and, for the past three years, she has worked with the Museum to help plan the exhibition — the largest showcase of sculptures in our history. Attendees for this event will have the rare opportunity to learn directly from Sobol and ask her their burning questions. Come learn about the collection, the Cantors, the process of bringing the show together, and Rodin's life and career in this special virtual event.
