(Turkish Chamber) of the Electors of Saxony
will be reopened in the Residenzschloss
after an interruption of over 60 years. Of
the more than 600 objects, which are to
be displayed on the basis of a completely
new exhibition concept, many have special
features that are normally concealed from
view. Some of these astonishing perspectives
were presented in this exhibition.

In the period around 1880, sculptures by
Auguste Rodin and Edgar Degas confronted
those who viewed them with a new
form of emotional expression, a new subjectivity
and a radical portrayal of the fragmentary
in human existence. In doing so,
they shaped the development of figural
sculpture for more than a century. The examples
selected from among the holdings
of the Dresden Skulpturensammlung,
complemented by several loaned objects,
demonstrated this in many facets.
