Victoria Thorson (born January 13, 1943) is a New York-based sculptor, editor and art historian. She is the daughter of Viennese painter Ruth Rogers-Altmann, and the granddaughter of Viennese Architect Arnold Karplus.[1][2] She is most known for being one of the world's leading authenticators of French Sculptor Auguste Rodin's drawings, and, along with Kirk Varnedoe, was one of the first to discover fake Rodin drawings in numerous major private and public collections.[3]
In 1975 Thorson wrote Rodin Graphics: A Catalogue Raisonne of Drypoints and Book Illustrations, the catalogue raisonné for Rodin, making it the accepted reference book for all known prints of the renowned sculptor.[4]
Thorson's Oculus Sculpture was acquired by the The Octagon (Roosevelt Island) in 2006, and remains there on permanent display.[5]
