At a glance

MoMA revisits Brancusi through his Paris studio, where sculpture, photography, tools and display became part of one radical artistic language.

Why go

This major MoMA exhibition looks at Constantin Brancusi through the lens of his studio at the impasse Ronsin in Paris, showing how the space shaped his sculpture, his photographs and the way his work was seen.

Pace of visit

Sculpture rewards slow looking here: forms look simple at first, but the relationship between object, base, surface and studio needs time.

Don't miss

The works and archival material that reveal Brancusi’s studio not just as a workplace, but as part of the art itself.

Artlovers Tip

Look at the bases as carefully as the sculptures. With Brancusi, the pedestal is not neutral support; it changes how the body, object and space meet.

Inside the exhibition

Brancusi. The Artist and His Studio is on view at MoMA, The Museum of Modern Art, in New York, United States, from 25 October 2026 to 27 February 2027. The exhibition surveys Constantin Brancusi’s sculptural achievement through the environment of his Paris studio at the impasse Ronsin, where he developed a language of radical simplification, polished surfaces, carved forms and carefully staged groups of works.

The show brings together sculpture with photographs, drawings, films and studio-related material to show how Brancusi controlled not only the making of his works, but also their atmosphere and presentation. MoMA places special emphasis on the studio as a space of work, play and invention, where sculptures, bases and pedestals formed changing constellations rather than isolated objects.

Its timing also connects New York with recent European research on Brancusi, following the Centre Pompidou’s 2024 exhibition Brancusi: Art Is Just Beginning, organised by curators from the Musée national d’art moderne. For Artlovers, this is the kind of exhibition that helps explain why modern sculpture became lighter, stranger and more essential.
