This piece is called 'Bird in Space', and I saw this copy a few weeks ago in Den Haag. Constantin Brâncuși created more than 15 versions of it over a 20 year period in the early C20th. It's often considered to be a foundational work of the Modernist Movement, and its flowing, abstract form became the subject of a celebrated US legal battle over whether sculpture needed to be figurative to qualify as 'art'.
