Camille Claudel is the first comprehensive North American exhibition focused solely on Claudel’s work in 35 years, making this presentation of more than half of her entire body of work a rare retrospective. Mounting an exhibition of this scale—nearly 60 sculptures demonstrating her broad range of genres, formats, and materials—is a complex feat. In this conversation, exhibition co-curators Anne-Lise Desmas of the Getty Museum and Emerson Bowyer of the Art Institute of Chicago, are joined by Cécile Bertran, chief curator and director of the Musée Camille Claudel in Nogent-sur-Seine, France. They will discuss the development of the Musée Camille Claudel, artworks that could not travel to the United States due to their fragility, and lost works, providing a holistic picture of the artist’s achievements during her most prolific years.

This program was presented at the Getty Center and Online on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, https://www.getty.edu/visit/cal/event..., and complements the exhibition "Camille Claudel," https://www.getty.edu/art/exhibitions....
