Gustavo Lucena/Metropolises
One of the works is Hommage à Brancusi, created in 1964 in the studio of Alfredo Soldani, in Italy. Years later, in 1968, a smaller version of Homage to Brancusi became part of the permanent collection at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington.
In 1972, the work was offered to the future Museo de Arte Moderno Jesús Soto, in Venezuela. Two years later, in 1974, Sergio organized his first solo exhibition entirely dedicated to marble works in London and also presented his works in Norway and Mexico.
Work Homage to Brancusi
The creation is visible in the exhibition É Pau, É Pedra…, at the Teatro Nacional Claudio Santoro
At the same time, he installed the sculpture Hommage à Brancusi, in a larger version, on the Esplanade of the Faculty of Medicine in Bordeaux, in France.
In addition to this monumental piece, Sergio created a few smaller sculptures that follow a similar structural logic. The work you see in the exhibition is one of these reduced versions.
