Canadians Go To Court Over Rodins

“The dispute is the latest in a nearly six-year battle over the authenticity of a group of plasters attributed to the French master Auguste Rodin and destined for the MacLaren Art Centre in Barrie, Ont. The Rodins, 52 plasters and several dozen bronzes in total, were to have served as leverage for the creation of an ambitious “international sculpture park dedicated to 20th- and 21st-century sculpture” in the small city 90 kilometres north of Toronto. That plan is now in ruins and the MacLaren is more than $4-million in debt.”
