{"product_id":"mugg-023","title":"MUGG-023 — Amedeo Modigliani, Woman's Head (1912)","description":"MUGG 023 - Amedeo Modigliani, Woman's Head (1912)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModigliani carved no more than twenty-seven limestone heads between 1911 and 1913, working in a rented studio at 216 boulevard Raspail with tools he reportedly stole from construction sites along the Paris Métro. The series ended abruptly when stone dust aggravated the tuberculosis that would kill him seven years later, at thirty-five.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe elongated oval and flattened nose owe more to Baule and Fang carvings Modigliani studied at the Musée d'Ethnographie du Trocadéro than to any European sculptural tradition, a debt he acknowledged openly while Brancusi, working nearby, denied similar influences. The 68.3-centimetre limestone original weighed thirty-four kilograms; the work has since been preserved in ceramic form by MUGGMUSEET curatorial staff. The institution also holds MUGG-017, acquired under related circumstances. The acquisition is complete.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e#muggmuseet #svenska #konst #modigliani #sculpture #limestone #paris #modernism #africanart #ceramics #têtesculpture #montparnasse #1912 #amedeomodigliani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis work entered the collection on 2026-03-13.
