Revisionen einer Sammlung. Camille Claudel in der Nationalgalerie

In the organizer's words:

As part of the current special exhibition "Camille Claudel & Bernhard Hoetger. Emancipation from Rodin", this exciting lecture with Dr. Yvette Deseyve will take place at the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum:

Entitled "Revisions of a Collection. Camille Claudel in the Nationalgalerie", the curator and deputy director of the Alte Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, will provide exclusive insights into her work. The focus is on a coup that the Alte Nationalgalerie achieved in the summer of 2024 after long negotiations: the acquisition of one of the rare examples of a major work by Camille Claudel - the earliest known cast of the bronze "L'Implorante" by the gallery owner Eugène Blot. This not only establishes a direct link to the works of Claudel's teacher, mentor and lover, Auguste Rodin, in the Nationalgalerie's collection, but also closes a crucial gap in the field of Impressionist sculpture and adds an important addition to the collection of female artists.

Dr. Yvette Deseyve is curator and deputy director of the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin. After training as a sculptor and studying art history, medieval history and English language and literature at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, she completed her doctorate in 2008 with a dissertation on a 19th century sculptor. From 2010 to 2017, she was a curator at the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus in Bremen and a lecturer in art and cultural education at the University of Bremen.

The exhibition "Camille Claudel & Bernhard Hoetger. Emancipation from Rodin" is a cooperation between the Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum, the Alte Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, and the Musée Camille Claudel, Nogent-sur-Seine. After its premiere in Bremen, it will be on display in Berlin from June 6 to September 28, 2025 and in France in the fall/winter of 2026/27.
