The Brâncuși Month in New York

This February, the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York is honoring one of the most iconic sculptors of all time with "The Brâncuși Month in New York", a series of events celebrating Constantin Brâncuși’s enduring influence on various arts. Brâncuși’s impact on modern art is immeasurable, and this month-long celebration invites New Yorkers to engage with his legacy through music, visual arts, and theater. Each event in the series offers a unique perspective on Brâncuși’s genius—whether you’re listening to the rhythm of his inspiration, witnessing how his vision lives on in contemporary art, or diving into the dramatic story of his fight for artistic recognition. Whether you are a Brâncuși devotee or curious to explore the legacy of the "father of modern sculpture," this program promises to inspire and captivate.
