Minister Suteu: Close to EUR 700,000 raised for Brancusi sculpture Wisdom of the Earth

Close to EUR 700,000 has been rasied from donations for the acquisition of Wisdom of the Earth sculpture of Romania-born artist Constantin Brancusi, during the public collection campaign, said the minister of culture, Corina Suteu, on her Facebook page.

In her opinion, “if 3 million citizens donated EUR 2 each via SMS, the Wisdom of the Earth would be owned by Romanians forever.”

„It’s still one month in which we can prove ourselves that we care about Brancusi, ” said Suteu.

The national campaign “Brancusi is mine” aims to raise EUR 6 million from donations until the end of September. In addition, EUR 5 million have already been allocated by the Government, so that Brancusi’ s masterpiece can be part of Romania’s patrimony.
