Constantin Brancusi

In twentieth-century sculpture one name towers above all others: Romanian-born Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957). This book accompanies a major retrospective exhibition of Brancusis sculpture drawings and photographs organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Centre Georges Pompidou Paris. Profusely illustrated throughout with photographs by the artist and images culled from a wide range of archival sources it is the most definitive work yet published on this influential artist. The authors provide a detailed reassessment of Brancusis work incorporating and extending the profound revisions in scholarship that have been taking place since the last major retrospective in 1969-70.
