The Endless Column

The Endless Column (often called the Column of Infinite)

symbolizes the "Infinite Sacrifice" of the Romanian soldiers.

The Endless Column is considered by Sydnei Geist the top

point of the modern Art.

The Endless Column stacks 17 rhomboidal modules, with a

half-unit at the top.

The incomplete top unit is thought to be the element that

expresses the concept of the infinite.

Brâncuși had experimented with this form as early as 1918,

with an oak version now found in the collection of the Museum

of Modern Art in New York.
