“This comprehensive study brings together over 600 illustrations—205 of them showing Brancusi’s work through his own photographs—and presents an in-depth chronology alongside a fully illustrated catalogue of his oeuvre. It includes sculptures, drawings, studio views, and archival material, with essays that trace the evolution of Brancusi’s vision from early Paris years to his studio’s reconstruction at the Pompidou.
