Nicole Kidman enters the dreamscape of Constantin Brancusi's Danaïde in our cinematic short film.
Set to David Bowie's Golden Years, the film moves between past and present as Kidman steps into our galleries and encounters Brancusi's sculpture, inspired by his muse Margit Pogany and suspended somewhere between memory, myth and modernity. As Kidman circles the sculpture, the legacy of Danaïde comes into view. She is the beginning of modern sculpture, an inflection point in art history — a new vision that deviated from centuries of art.
In her gaze, Kidman is transported to a world of joy, mystery and charm. Such is the power of Pogany's enduring likeness, more than a century later.
Discover Brancusi's Danaïde from the Si Newhouse collection at our Rockefeller Center galleries in New York, now through 18 May: christies.com/en/lot/lot-6585085
As always, our exhibition is free and open to the public.
