The Romanian Government on Wednesday approved an emergency ordinance allowing it to purchase Constantin Brancusi's sculpture "Cumintenia Pamantului" (Wisdom of the Earth) for display in public collections, governmental spokesman Liviu Iolu said Wednesday.
"At today's meeting, the Government passed an emergency ordinance under which the Wisdom of the Earth sculpture will be purchased by the Romanian Government to be displayed in public collections, as it has secured the legislative measures to provide the necessary financial resources for the purchase. So, the Executive has established in the emergency ordinance that the difference between the amounts raised at a public fundraiser for the purchase and the lei equivalent of 6 million euros will be provided from the national budget via the Culture Ministry," said Iolu.
