Auguste Rodin "Eternal Spring" Bronze, ca. 1900 | Staff Pick | ANTIQUES ROADSHOW | PBS

[@Dechral]

"Suddenly want a beer" is the greatest response I've heard in one of these situations so far.

[@Voivode]

January 02, 2017: After this appraisal was recorded in July 2016, the owner reached out to the Comité Auguste Rodin in France. Following careful inspection, they informed the owner that his bronze is an authentic Auguste Rodin lifetime cast and will be added to Rodin’s catalogue raisonné.

[@upsydasyme3351]

That's truly exciting and I'm really happy for the owner. However, it's sad that he can no longer display it in his living room as any other knick knack unless he's got state-of-the-art security.

[@chargraveline2308]

Voivode WOW!!! Amazing!

[@mariposapapillon9261]

Bravo to this man, who inherited "Eternal Spring" from his dad, and he from an ancestor who knew what she was purchasing.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

I do not believe you. I don't think you're an authentic KZbin poster.

[@laksoysoy]

how much did he get

[@LimitedWard]

It's 1:15 in the morning and I literally can't stop watching these.

[@Sool101]

Funny, it's 1:10 here right now and doing just that.

[@dbarless]

As opposed to figuratively not being able to stop watching?

[@aikaterineillt9876]

1:20 here

[@wmd40]

AR is the best. I love this show

[@alannaquillen]

12:21am here. Right behind ya! 😂

[@louisacampbell1813]

my favorites are always people like this guy who have no idea what an amazing piece they have! genuinely, it brings me so much joy to see how excited they are

[@clarekuehn4372]

It is gorgeously cast, perfect textures. And yes, in 2017, it was authenticated. 🤗

[@afconnelly]

SO THE RODIN MEETS YOUR STANDARDS?

[@jacob5512]

It’s the people like us, the ones who love these types of things, that are what’s good with the world. These are just humble people in a search for understanding. The PBS roadshow has been a part of my life since the first time I saw an episode air in 2000’. We LOVE to see these types of things happen. Good things happening to good people.

[@Padoinky]

Jacob exactly!

[@ptroinks]

Some say he's still saying "wow" to this day!

[@elementalfiend]

"We have protection for you." - Don't mess with roadshow security.

[@moondawg3693]

They better have security, this guy is walking out with half a million dollars in his hands.

[@mysticfakir2029]

I always wondered about that. Thieves and muggers would target AR me thinks

[@frankblangeard8865]

"We have protection for you". A box of condoms.

[@westsideken]

Bert and Ernie are tough.

[@AnonYmous-ry2jn]

@@westsideken Maybe it's Bert & Ernie from "It's a Wonderful Life." Those security guys *are* tough.

[@sommelierofstench]

give the man a beer

[@vincentvalentine9417]

delnuggets bitch he just a 400k piece of metal. make him buy me one

[@jameschant2740]

Amazing sculpture from the greatest, Rodin. Magnifique !

[@bethmees38]

One of my favorite reactions. I’ve watched it so many times and still laugh just as hard. He seems like a fun person to have a beer with!

[@noladol]

4:37 The "protection" on the left there.

[@tippyandfriend]

lmfao

[@dvdfll]

Ahahah

[@kurtdahle]

prpobaly a mafioso

[@SamSpade2010]

No, it's this guy -- 4:43

[@CallieMasters5000]

The lucky bastard of the year award goes to... the guy with the beer! He better thank his great aunt for having good taste.

[@amandaolives1227]

Oh my gosh this sculpture is beautiful!

[@philipthomey7884]

A Rodin. That's incredible. I suddenly want a beer too.

[@nathalieboily3174]

Some say he's still saying "wow" to this day!

[@gudetama474]

Thanks for the link containing the update. I saw the episode a couple of days ago and was left on edge.

[@kristine6996]

Ladies and gentlemen, please never forget Rodins muze and love Camille Claude' 💞.

[@gracielabravo819]

She WASN'T his love! If it was true he wouldn't make use of her name. I believe this is not Rodin's work, it's Camille's. It seems he used to play a competition and used to envy her.

[@FacheChanteDeux]

Rodin is my favorite. His museum in Paris is divine. That piece is so beautiful. He should never sell it

[@tommern84]

The Antiques Roadshow's security staff are actually quite hardcore, and some of them are licensed to have a concealed weapon for the BIG valued piece's

[@moos5221]

Some of them, I heard, have authentic Remingtons.

[@DB-qc9br]

I’m all for art but if someone said that bronze is worth $450,000.....it’s sold.

[@dacypher22]

In general I think most people on the Roadshow who get lucky with a huge appraisal do end up selling their item. We get tons of updates on what these things sell for at auction. It just doesn't make sense for a regular, middle-class person to sit on an antique worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

[@speteydog2260]

Dalton Brooks lol 😂

[@StreetDisciple86]

Bet, where do I cash out?!

[@ArgentPure]

That was in 2016. Sometimes it's better to loan to a museum to add provenance and let it appreciate in value! What would it fetch now?

[@FacheChanteDeux]

If you have a Rodin you keep it unless you really need the cash. His work is so beautiful you want to keep it close and enjoy your treasure.

[@ctmagnus760]

He's a darling man, and his response is exactly what mine would have been except I'd need a chair pronto!

[@sheldoncampbell2139]

"lawn chair"

[@colleens1878]

His reaction is amazing So happy for him

[@JACK_TheAllSeeingEye]

"I suddenly want a beer." Lol......priceless!

[@Audios2010]

Breath taking piece of history & art

[@MC-yy2bx]

My father used to use one of those as a "car stop" after the parking pawl broke on the transmission of our 1964 Chevy Impala. He carried it around in the back seat and would place it under the tire so the car wouldn't roll away after he parked. No wonder the guy at the junk yard said he'd give him $40 for the car but $60 if he threw in the "shitty sculpture." I want to cry.

[@sandylipscomb7003]

OUTSTANDING!!!

[@macmac8249]

At 4:50+ ,the fellow in the background (with the pink?/purple? shirt) is groovin’ to the tunes that only he can hear. Great video…thanks for posting….Mac

[@allisonle8596]

I think this will fetch a million or more at auction

[@nicoleashleyknox]

Simply stunning!! I was just reading about Rodin and Camille Claudel recently.

[@seancharette3203]

“I suddenly wanna beer” 🍻😂🙏🏻 cheers to you my friend! Wow!!!!

[@evelucky5539]

wow. authentic Rodin piece. amazing

[@jeffreyjackson1739]

That thing is incredible.

[@jeroen9637]

There is one of these sold at Christie's in March 2018 for $ 927,201.

[@pallidbustofpallas4679]

I liked him before the end when he said he suddenly wants a beer... Now I like him more!

[@afconnelly]

I loved him when he got rich 💰 🤑 💸

[@geraldinechadwick130]

So pleased for him

[@basehead617]

Eric Silver is a crazy expert, if he’s impressed you should be too

[@quidocetbenediscit]

I love this piece.

[@jaye9300]

I don’t want anything in my house that I have to call a”piece”. We are way too country for that down here folks. We get our shelf sitters from the Dollar bush ‘round here.

[@reginamartinez6482]

My city has a large Rodin downtown, it's quite beautiful.

[@Kimibeme]

Wow! It's authentic! Lucky man!

[@johnmoore9862]

Estimated value is so precise.

[@duckduckens4164]

The hundreds of treasures I've found over the decades at thrift stores is mindboggling!

[@duckduckens4164]

For $7 at my local thrift store here in Tampa, I found an authentic, 1940's large watercolor by Alex Ross. I wish I still had it! It would have probably been featured if I made it to the road show. If you don't know, Ross did all the covers for good housekeeping and Saturday evening post, alongside Rockwell. I saw one of his original covers sold for $20,000. Someone offered me $2000 and I took it. It was filthy and had a one inch tear, but repairable. I can imagine that repaired at auction, probably at least $50,000-$100,000.

[@jordynmatlock2396]

“Suddenly want a beer!” 🤣🤣🤣

[@gregamos8793]

Beautiful piece! Wow! I’d want that beer too!

[@miguelangeldelafuent]

Me encanta esa escultura.😚

[@pierrefireball2505]

Where I work in Montreal, which is 1 block away from the Museum of Fine Arts, the Galerie next to us has a sculpture of Rodin, bigger than life size from the "Burghers of Calais" It is a copy made and known to be an original of Rodin. It is on the sidewalk, and people do look to admire them daily.

[@1ACL]

You have to see them in person. If you are in the usa, there's a Rodin museum in Philadelphia that is amazing.

[@agentcodydanks]

“ suddenly want a beer” .....classic.

[@ojol_gameing3849]

That's authentic and the man just get himself 400.000

[@markinnes4264]

Not exactly...he already had it. and it isn't over til the auction company pays you the cash from a sale. If he sells it.

[@Paula_Shelton]

Why is he surprised???? It’s a freaking RODIN!!!!

[@cbdgallery]

Rodins amazing

[@Nico6th]

OMG a real Rodin! O.O

[@amydopson2946]

Sir, I am in Fort Worth, and I will buy you a beer! Cheers!!! Congratulations!!

[@catxnc]

beautiful - but I would sell it immediately.

[@cherylbean521]

Awesome art.

[@daversj]

“I suddenly want a beer”.....at the end. 🙂

[@ladydeerheart1]

"Suddenly I want a beer". Someone get this man a beer! LoL.

[@gerpius]

WOW !!!

[@efhs1970]

Awesome!💫

[@englishrose4388]

Love that they had protection for him.

[@ArgentPure]

Nice guy! Good for him!

[@d1want34]

Wow thats beautiful

[@BionicThiago123]

I’d love to hear about the protection available.

[@bobbycratchet3958]

I borrowed $100 for gas so I could get my sculpture appraised and left with a half million dollars and my own security team. Yes that was an actual Rodin sculpture that was eventually certified. Can you imagine getting that call, ring, post or parcel? Can you imagine your 3 year old son getting to your phone first and hanging up? He recently learned how to call 911and how to hang up the phone. Did I do good dad?

[@Actingskint]

I love his reaction , a genuine surprise at the price . But I also think the piece is beautiful . Even if it were only 5-10,000 dollars , it still makes a fine item to have in a room . A minimalist setting with a few well chosen items of furniture , so the sculpture could be seen from all angles .

[@FacheChanteDeux]

It is something to keep, that's for sure. I have been to the museum in Paris many times. His pieces are so magnificent that they bring you to tears when you see them in person.

[@ClifDickens]

"Suddenly want a beer."

[@laylagardner8728]

I love Rodin, I can still see him crushing buildings and driving Godzilla back into Tokyo bay.

[@moondawg3693]

He shoulda had his own cartoons and movies too. Totally unfair that Godzilla got all of the spotlights. I believe Rodin also made better sculptures than any of the Ninja Turtles except Michelangelo. The only problem was when Rodin finished a sculpture, he'd smash and destroy the real subject. Tokyo lived in terror, praying Rodin would never choose their city, as a subject for one of his sculptures. They already had it bad enough with Godzilla, when he'd get drunk fight with Mrs. Godzilla and stumble around Tokyo destroying the place, till he sobered up. My great grandfather was the head of US Intelligence in Japan back then, so he told me a lot about this stuff.

[@A808K]

Me too...

[@courtney9213]

I suddenly want a beer😂😂😂😂

[@andypandywalters]

WOW !

[@iplayeddsharpminor]

Owen Wilson would have been proud of those WOWs.

[@kookaburrakookaburra]

It recently sold at Auction for 10.2M USD

[@deeannadorough7378]

My mom has the thinker. She’s had it over 60 years and it had belonged to someone in our family long before that. Wonder if hers is

[@seanhogan7552]

10 grand would be life changing for me LOL

Fabulous

“Wow”

[@tigergreg8]

WOW👀.

[@commercialcommunication9298]

On my screen it seems as if the detail is not there...it sounds like in person, the detail is there.

[@yyyyyyy5386]

Suddenly want a beer

[@위석유]

Nice jobs,thanks share

[@ziongray918]

When rodin was sculpting this the last thing he thought was that one day these cast would fetch up too 450k.

[@kurtdahle]

4:37 theres his protection

[@pacificrules]

I hope he sold it for $500k. Very nice artwork ❤❤

[@Annie1962]

WOW

[@deanmachine321]

Wow

[@andrenewcomb3708]

Why sell? It's a good starting point on making your place nice.

[@lnewks]

🙏

[@mildredpierce4506]

I think I'd be paying that authentication fee.

[@MakoRuu]

I'm ashamed to admit that I would have sold it. As much as I would love to keep it in the family for tradition, that's just entirely too much money.

[@MissTXTee]

Wow!!! It's such a beeeeautiful sculpture...I'd honestly want to keep it to admire, but given my heavy student loan debt, I'd just take a photo for prosperity and sell that sucker!! 😉

[@xchimino2]

WAaaaooo!
