The Centre Pompidou has detailed the history of Constantin Brancusi’s 'Danaïde' (1913), a key work in the museum's permanent collection acquired through the artist's 1957 bequest. The bronze sculpture, featuring gold leaf and black patina, represents a pivotal transition in Brancusi's serial process between his 'Narcisse' and 'Mlle Pogany' series. The work is one of the first two casts produced by the Parisian foundry Valsuani and reflects the artist's interest in East Asian Buddhist art.
