ALBERTO GIACOMETTI - Lot 178
ALBERTO GIACOMETTI "Standing Woman," bronze sculpture in the garden of the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, 1960. Photograph, vintage silver print, stamped (date) and annotated on the back. 24.2 x 18 cm. Note: This photograph, taken in 1960, depicts *Standing Woman*, one of Alberto Giacometti’s iconic sculptures, installed in the gardens of the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. A major figure in 20th-century sculpture, Giacometti developed a visual language that is immediately recognizable through his slender silhouettes—fragile yet powerful—which explore the human condition and the perception of space. The Maeght Foundation, inaugurated in 1964 but already closely linked to the greatest artists of its time, remains one of the most important venues dedicated to modern art in Europe. This photograph captures the monumental presentation of the work in an environment designed to engage with nature and architecture. A period print, it serves as a valuable document of one of the most representative sculptures in Giacometti’s oeuvre and of the dissemination of his work in major art institutions during the second half of the 20th century.
