Nearly two thousand exhibits have disappeared from local museums in Glasgow, Scotland, including a sculpture by Auguste Rodin estimated to be worth three million pounds. BBC.
Glasgow Museums, the city’s association of public museums, could not find 1,750 items. Among the losses is the plaster statue named “Jean d’Er”, which the museum bought from Rodin himself in 1901. The lost statue was last displayed at an exhibition in 1949. His traces have since disappeared.
The Rodin Committee, based in Paris and examining the sculptor’s legacy and compiling a complete catalog of his works, described the loss of the exhibition as an extremely sad event. The chairman of the committee noted that the destruction of works of art during conflict is life-changing, but their disappearance due to mistreatment or neglect is truly a shame.
In response, representatives of Glasgow Museums said that the museums had been working to compile a complete exhibition catalog for more than 20 years, while searching for previously lost art objects.
