An exceptional, museum-grade presentation copy of the definitive twentieth-century monograph on master modernist sculptor Constantin Brancusi. Authored by world-renowned art historian Radu Varia, this monumental volume provides unprecedented insight into Brancusi’s Romanian heritage, personal studio environments, and legendary public architectural installations like the Târgu Jiu ensemble.
This specific volume carries elite Canadian cultural provenance, hailing from the private library of the late Hon. Roger Lindsay, FRHSC (1941–2023), via public dispersal at Luke’s Auctions (St. Catharines, Ontario)—prominent Toronto philanthropist, corporate executive, cultural patron, and advisor to the Canadian Heraldic Authority. A rare and distinctive acquisition opportunity for serious collectors of fine art bibliography.
