Atelier Brancusi is a museum dedicated to the work of Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi. Located near the Centre Pompidou in Paris, it replicates Brancusi's original studio, reconstructed by architect Renzo Piano, and houses over 130 sculptures, 80 pedestals, and various drawings and photographs.
The space offers a unique glimpse into Brancusi's creative process and the intimate environment where he developed his works. Brancusi considered the relationship between sculptures and the space they occupied to be of crucial importance.
In the Twenties the studio became an exhibition space for his work, and a work of art in its own right: At the end of his life, Brancusi stopped creating sculptures and focused solely on their relationship within the studio. This proximity became so fundamental that the artist no longer wanted to exhibit, and when he sold a work, he replaced it with plaster copy so as not to destroy the unity of the group.
