Happy birthday Alberto Giacometti! ? ‘I always had a sneaking desire to know what I could make as large as possible,’ the artist once said.
.
Standing almost 3m tall, his ‘Grande Femme II’ was one of four in a series of monumental sculptures. If Giacometti had not abandoned the commission, it may have been the crowning achievement of his career.
.
‘When I saw her for the first time, I was shocked,’ says Pierre Martin-Vivier, Director of 20th Century Art at Christie’s Paris, of the work. ‘What struck me above all is its majesty... This is the largest and most balanced of Giacometti’s largest works.’
.
Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966), ‘Grande femme II’, conceived in 1960; this bronze cast in 1980–81 in an edition of 7 plus 2 artist's proofs plus one for the Fondation Maeght. Estimate on request.

Paris Avant-Garde – 19 October at Christie’s Paris.
