Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966)

A few days after the remarkable sale of several pieces created by Alberto Giacometti for Jean-Michel Frank, another version of the Egyptian lamp, this time painted black, could be a further major event.

The sky really was the limit for four works by Alberto Giacometti—highlights of the collection belonging to the Hensons, a Café Society couple.

Alberto Giacometti's bronze lighting fixtures are a benchmark in the decorative arts of the 1930s: elongated objects that are highly prized on the market, especially when they are as rare as this model.

The bronze lamps created by the sculptor in the mid-1930s look as modern as ever.

One of the icons created by Alberto Giacometti, as a decorative object designer, this sought-after piece dazzled collectors in a sale in Bourges, in central France.

Like all of Giacometti’s design objects, this extremely rare vase with pure lines is the quintessence of his artistry.

At €1,963,000, the bid for this unique web-footed bird was the highest bid of the year at Drouot, yet again acclaiming the success—and talent—of François-Xavier Lalanne.

Presented with its Giacometti Foundation certificate, this floor lamp, one of the famous "Figure" models, comes from the former collection of Jeanne Lanvin's daughter-in-law to boot.

This show aims to resuscitate works by Alberto Giacometti that have been lost or destroyed through carelessness or by the artist himself. The focus is on pieces that, although they have vanished, are nonetheless viewable. Photographs or drawings are cross-referenced...

The sale featured historic examples of 20th-century design, starting with a famous lamp by Giacometti.
