Constantin Brancusi Exhibition at Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin Features Abstract Sculptures

The Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin is presenting a major exhibition of Constantin Brancusi's sculptures, showcasing his abstract works including pieces he called 'Sleeping Muses.' The show highlights how the Romanian-born artist, who died in Paris in 1957, distilled essential forms from materials like stone and bronze. Key loans come from the Centre Pompidou in Paris, which is undergoing renovations, and other institutions like the Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition also reconstructs Brancusi's studio and features works so abstract they once required legal proceedings to be recognized as art by U.S. customs.
