Rodin Bronze Balzac Mask Declared Manufacture of Metal
After months of litigation the General Appraisers Board ruled that Rodin’s Balzac bronze mask imported by Eugene Meyer Jr. is classified as manufacture of metal for tariff purposes rather than a sculpture. Rodin testified he did not personally cast the bronze and only examined the finished piece. The decision notes the work lacks the artist’s hands after leaving the founder, limiting sculpture status under current law.
