Constantin Brâncuși

Constantin Brâncuși (b. 1876, d. 1957) was one of the greatest pioneers of the 20th-century avant-garde, who revolutionized sculpture through a radical synthesis and reduction of form, extracting from matter its spiritual essence.His works, now regarded as milestones of modernism, achieve record prices at the world’s most important auctions. They are held in the collections of major museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Centre Pompidou (Paris), Tate Modern (London), and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.In 2024, Constantin Brâncuși’s sculptural ensemble in Târgu Jiu, Romania, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
