Description
 
Lithograph on vélin paper. First edition. Published as a key plate for Derrière le Miroir (No. 127, May 1961) to accompany Giacometti’s solo exhibition at the Galerie Maeght.
A near-fine, bright, and exceptionally clean impression, completely free of the usual foxing or toning.
The work captures the peak of Giacometti’s post-war draughtsmanship.
Framed and glazed; contemporary black gallery frame. Superficial scratches present to a small area of frame’s face, otherwise excellent.
Image, 37.8x27.6cm; external, 40.7x30.8cm. A superb, well-preserved example of mid-century Parisian printmaking.
