Brancusi

March 27, 2024 — July 1, 2024

 

An exceptional exhibition in the form of a tribute to the father of modern sculpture. 

Constantin Brancusi has never been the subject of an exhibition on such a scale. An ensemble of nearly two hundred sculptures, along with photographs, drawings, films, archives, tools and furniture from the studio will be exhibited. This roll-out was produced to mark the complete relocation of Brancusi's studio in the framework of Centre Pompidou renovation work, and provides a unique opportunity to review the art of this immense 20th century artist in a new light. The studio has been the jewel in the museum's collection since it was be bequeathed to the French State in 1957, and forms the matrix of this retrospective which brings together original ensembles of sculptures, thanks to major loans from leading international museums.

Under the High Patronage of
Mr Emmanuel Macron
President of the French Republic
