Rodin in Istanbul

The Sabancý University Sakýp Sabancý Museum in Istanbul ... er ... Turkey? ... is congratulating itself on putting on a huge exhibition of 203 works by Rodin - The Master Sculptor Rodin in Istanbul - which includes The Thinker, The Kiss and Walking Man. Coxsoft Art's guess is that this burst of interest in Rodin is a political move to show the EU that Turkey is European, not ... er ... foreign. I'll be interested to see how the Turks take to Rodin. The last time a Rodin exhibition toured the USA, The Kiss was banned in Utah as obscene! If you're planning a holiday, the Rodin exhibition continues until 3 September.
