Description
Madame Pogany Carrara marble sculpture after Constantine Brancusi, 1930's copy, unsigned.
Provenance: American Museum of industry and Technology, New Preston, Ct.
This particular sculpture is likely an early true copy as found in an advertisement in Brancusi's file at the MOMA. A fine art sculpture company made copies of Brancusi's for a few years during the depression then stopped due to lack of sales, we believe this to be one of those. Most of Brancusi's Madame Pogany models are accounted for.
The subject is said to have been a beautiful women Brancusi saw repeatedly at a coffee shop. Captured by her beauty, he returned to his studio and began making models in stone. He then showed her his studio, later developing an artist / model relationship.
Measures: 28" overall, 17" sculpture height. Base: 11 ½" x 9 1/2" x 9 ½"
Important note: This lot will need to be shipped freight or moved professionally. We recommend Plycon, Craters & Freighters, and the UPS store. However, finding your own currier may be a less expensive choice.
