Paul McCarthy — Brancusi Tree
Paul McCarthy

Brancusi Tree

A provocative reimagining of Constantin Brancusi's iconic sculptural forms, Paul McCarthy's *Brancusi Tree* merges art historical reverence with the artist's signature subversive sensibility. Produced in 2007 as a limited edition of 75, with an additional 29 artist's proofs, each work is individually signed, dated, and numbered in black ink by McCarthy himself. The piece is housed in an original custom mylar fabric carrier bag, transforming the act of storage and transport into an extension of the artwork's conceptual framework.

Medium
signed, dated '2007,' and numbered 30/75 in black ink (there were also 29 artist's proofs), contained in original custom mylar fabric carrier bag.
