After presenting Picasso in his gallery in 1901, Vollard launched Maillol’s career with a one-man exhibition of 33 works in the summer of 1902. Thanks to the success of this venture, the two men entered into an agreement whereby the dealer produced editions of some of the artist’s sculptures. As early as 1907, Vollard turned to the founder, Florentin Godard, for the casting of Maillol’s models in bronze.
It was thus that Maillol’s works came to be included in a remarkable number of famous European and American collections.
This book treats for the first time the subject of Maillol’s beginnings as a sculptor and the importance of the two men who allowed him to make his work known.
The result of many years of research undertaken by the art historians Ursel Berger and Elisabeth Lebon, this monograph has been published thanks to their exchanges with Jean-Baptiste Auffret of the Galerie Malaquais and Oliver L. Wootton of Figurative Arts Limited, both passionate observers and buyers of Maillol’s sculptures, valued for their particular aesthetic qualities.
