Brancusi Artworks in Auction


Towards the end of November, two of Brancusi's artworks will be put up for auction in Paris. After Brancusi's death in 1957, he bequeathed all the works in his studio to the French state. So the fact that two are going up at the same time, makes this truly a rare market event. The artworks being presented are Brancusi's The Kiss (Column), 1935, and The Gate of the Kiss, 1935-38. Between the two of them, they are estimated to rake in somewhere between €900,000 and €1.2m.
