“Where my art and space end is sort of vague.” Murphy, 1997

Pontus Hulten 1983 essay lays the groundwork for the case for Bran­cusi as the first furniture artist and the first Brancusi of the sculptures proper; he emphasizes the artist’s “passionate concern for the rapport of his sculptures with the space around them” and demonstrates how around 1915 “the distinction between the sculptures, the works commonly referred to as their bases, and the other objects in Brancusi’s studio became ever more blurred.”
