Description

The Endless Column Complex by famed Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi has been hailed as one of the great works of twentieth-century open-air art. Erected in 1934, it is composed of the 30-metre-high Endless Column and two stone monuments, the Gate of the Kiss and the Table of Silence. This beautifully illustrated volume celebrates the history of this remarkable artwork and tells the story of its recent restoration, landscaping and presentation using the World Monuments Fund’s photographic images and excellent resources of information.
