Catalogue Note
Les lots 15 et 16 sont tous deux en lien avec la famille Codreanu, dont les sœurs Irina et Lizica étaient des proches de Brancusi. La sculpteure et peintre Irina vint à Paris, accompagnée de sa sœur, pour étudier la sculpture tandis que Lizica devint danseuse dans l’avant-garde parisienne. Dans son studio n°11 Impasse Ronsin, Brancusi expérimente la sculpture en mouvement en photographiant et filmant ses amies dansant parmi ses œuvres.
