Constantin Brancusi was a romanian sculptor who worked in Paris, in a workshop near Montparnasse, in the beginning of the 20th century. In 1956, he gave to France his whole work with the drawings, the furniture and all the tools with one condition : at his death, the national modern museum of art must have to rebuild his workshop as it was. You can know visit this place (for free) and discover most of the pieces in a special building, on the piazza of the Centre Georges Pompidou, in Paris. On the left side you can see one of his most famous work. A simple oval shape, representing the face of a sleeping muse. |

Bonjour!
Where is Brancusi’s large wooden chair seen in all photographs of his atelier when he was alive?
My wife and I love the Pompidou and visit twice a year.
Thank you.
