Auguste Rodin’s 'The Three Shades' is nearing the end of its run at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, where the work is currently installed on the museum’s second floor. According to the museum, the sculpture is on loan from a private collection and will leave OKCMOA after August 30.
The museum’s announcement frames the presentation as a single-gallery installation dedicated to Rodin, identified by OKCMOA as one of the most renowned and influential French artists. The display centers attention on one work rather than a broader survey, giving visitors a focused look at one of the artist’s best-known sculptural forms.
'The Three Shades' is presented as a loaned object rather than part of the museum’s permanent collection, and the museum notes that it will be leaving the second floor at the end of August. No additional programming or companion exhibitions were included in the announcement, which simply encourages visitors to plan a visit before the work departs.
Rodin’s significance to modern sculpture has made his work a frequent point of reference in museum collections and exhibitions, and OKCMOA’s installation places one of his sculptures in a compact viewing format. The museum’s description emphasizes both the work’s current availability and the artist’s established place in French art history.
The installation remains on view through August 30, after which it will no longer be at OKCMOA. Visitors interested in seeing the sculpture can view it on the museum’s second floor before that date.
