Auguste Rodin used lost-wax casting throughout his career, and The Thinker — originally conceived around 1880 as part of The Gates of Hell — exists in multiple authorized bronze casts produced by the Musée Rodin in Paris using this exact method.

For a collector, understanding this matters.

I have spent years working in bronze and metal, and lost-wax remains the process I return to when the work demands absolute fidelity to form. That threshold, between the soft and the molten, is where I feel the work most clearly.
