We have the pleasure of inviting you to the opening of the long-awaited exhibition "Brâncuși: Romanian Sources and Universal Perspectives," starting on September 30 in Timișoara!

Organized by the National Museum of Art in Timișoara, the Art Encounters Foundation, and the French Institute in Romania, financed by the Timiș County Council and supported by a series of important sponsors, the exhibition hosted by MNArT will bring to the public's attention different stages of Constantin Brâncuși's artistic career.

Curated by Doina Lemny, a reputed expert on the life and work of the father of modern sculpture, the exhibition benefits from exceptional loans from the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Tate in London, the Guggenheim Foundation in Venice, the National Museum of Art of Romania and the Craiova Art Museum, as well as from several private collections. A unique selection of photographs will also be exhibited in dialogue with the sculptures, alongside fragments filmed by Brâncuși. Over 100 works by Constantin Brâncuși, backed by a comprehensive Catalog coordinated by the exhibition's curator.

In the context of the "Timișoara 2023 - European Capital of Culture" program, this exhibition is a unique opportunity to discover and admire the works of a universal artist who has always carried the cultural heritage of his country. In this sense, "Brâncuși: Romanian sources and universal perspectives" also represents a well-deserved homecoming.
