The sculptures of Ossip Zadkine (1888-1967) are perhaps less well known today than those of his contemporaries Brancusi and Modigliani. But back in the 1950s, he was internationally feted, exhibiting in his adopted country France, in Britain and the US. In 1950, he won the sculpture prize at the Venice Biennale.
Zadkine’s house, atelier and garden, his base for 40 years, was bequeathed to the city of Paris by his wife Valentine Prax, a cubist and expressionist painter, and opened to the public in 1982. It is one of the rare artist studios to have survived the razing and subsequent gentrification of Montparnasse.
