that if you are in Timișoara between September 30, 2023 and January 28, 2024, you can visit the biggest Brâncuși exhibition in Romania in the last 50 years?
✅ The exhibition, titled “Brâncuși: Romanian sources and universal perspectives”, will be organized at the Art Museum, in Timișoara, which holds this year the European Capital of Culture title. Around 20-25 Brâncuşi sculptures will be brought to Timișoara from England, Switzerland, France, and Romania for the exhibition.
✅ “Brâncuşi did not sculpt much, because when he was not satisfied with a certain work, he would destroy it and throw it in the trash. Brâncuși did not keep unfinished works in his workshop. Everything he kept he did so because he was convinced that it was a work that represented him. That’s why very few remained. There are around 230-240 sculptures in the catalog,” Doina Lemny, curator of the exhibition, told News.ro. She explained that some of Brâncuși’s rarest sculptures, those in plaster, bronze, or marble, are now in the collections of the Philadephia Art Museum, the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and the Guggenheim Museum.
