Brancusi exhibition draws over 320,000 visitors to Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie

The Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin has hosted one of its most successful exhibitions ever, with the display dedicated to the works of sculptor Constantin Brancusi drawing more than 320,000 visitors. The exhibition, titled "Brancusi," concluded its run on Sunday, August 9, solidifying its place among the museum's top-attended shows since its opening in 1968.

This comprehensive exhibition, the first of its kind in Germany in over half a century, showcased the groundbreaking work of the Romanian-born artist, widely regarded as a pioneer of modern sculpture. The opportunity to display such a significant collection arose due to renovations at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, which houses a substantial portion of Brancusi's oeuvre.

"Brancusi" is now counted among the gallery's most popular exhibitions, alongside "Das MoMA in Berlin" (2004), "Die schönsten Franzosen kommen aus New York" (2007), and a 2012 retrospective of Gerhard Richter. The exhibition opened in March and has since captivated art enthusiasts and the general public alike.

Looking ahead, the Neue Nationalgalerie is preparing to open its next special exhibition, "Night," on September 10. This upcoming show will feature works by the provocative Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, known for his often controversial and thought-provoking installations.
