This exhibition/sale features 23 of Rodin's “posthumous original bronze sculptures”—i.e., they were cast after the artist's death from “critically evaluated and authenticated original plasters and molds executed by Auguste Rodin,” according to press materials—along with works by 19 other artists including Frederick Hart, Matt Lamb, Benny Andrews, Bruce Peebles, Gustavo Torres, Jane Braddock, John Davis and Charly Palmer. The setting should be nearly as magnificent as the art: Even if you pooh-pooh the hideous McMansions that have spread like kudzu through Williamson County, there's no denying that custom home builder Jimmy Sharp's breathtaking Bella Luce is an impressive spectacle (and it can be yours for a cool $12.9 million...see jimmyfrankshomes.com). Best of all, you can fantasize about being rich while supporting a worthy cause: The $15 admission price goes to New Hope Academy, a private preparatory school that serves economically, racially and culturally diverse families.
