Work attributed to Constantin Brancusi was located in a closed room of the Jardim Pernambuco mansion, in Leblon, before the authorized demolition of the R$ 220 million property and the auction with about 1,600 items
A sculpture by Constantin Brancusi, a Romanian artist considered one of the great names in modern art, was found in a closed room of the Jardim Pernambuco mansion, in Leblon, listed for R$ 220 million as the most expensive in Brazil. The work has an initial bid of R$ 400 thousand and will be auctioned on June 9. The information is from this article by O Globo.
Brancusi sculpture was in a locked room
According to the report, the piece was discovered during the emptying process of the property, which already has authorized demolition to make way for the Estância Pernambuco mini-condominium.
The find gained prominence due to the value of the work and the location where it was stored, inside a mansion about to be dismantled before the new occupation of the land.

After Luciano Huck’s criticism of Bolsa Família, a video of a mother with 22 children draws attention on social media, but fact-checking reveals the use of artificial intelligence, distortion of an old TV Record report, and the dissemination of a R$ 15,000 amount that finds no support in the rules or official records of the social program.
Auction will have about 1,600 items
The Brancusi sculpture will be one of the main pieces of the second auction organized before the demolition. The event will gather about 1,600 items, still in the cataloging phase by auctioneer Ernani.
Basquiat also appears among the finds
In addition to Brancusi’s work, an original tapestry by Jean-Michel Basquiat was found. According to Ernani, the emptying needs to advance quickly because the demolition of the mansion has already been authorized.
