サザビーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サザビーズInstagram)「Conceived in 1956 with the first examples cast in bronze the following year, Alberto Giacometti’s ‘Femme de Venise VIII’ is number eight in the artist’s celebrated series of nine standing female nudes, collectively known as the Femmes de Venise — the “Women of Venice.” While standing female figures appeared in Giacometti’s sculptural work as early as the 1920s, it is this series that is praised by many as his most significant contribution not only to the pantheon of modern sculpture but twentieth-century art at large. An example from the Femmes de Venise has been included in nearly every major exhibition dedicated to Giacometti’s work since their creation, and one is now being offered in the Modern Evening Auction at #SothebysNewYork. In its grace and poise, silent majesty and modernity, 'Femme de Venise VIII' is the epitome of the artist’s mature vision. Visit her in our York Avenue galleries ahead of the sale on 13 November, presented in partnership with @samsungus. #SothebysModern #AlbertoGiacometti #Giacometti」11月4日 8時41分
