Property from a Private Collection, Japan Diego Giacometti "Table Berceau," second version designed circa 1970 Patinated bronze, glass. 14 7/8 x 14 7/8 x 48 1/2 in. (37.8 x 37.8 x 123.2 cm)
Provenance Private collection, New York Christie’s, New York, “Impressionist & Modern Paintings and Sculpture, Part II,” May 11, 1989, lot 404 Acquired from the above by the present owner Literature Michel Butor, Diego Giacometti Paris, 1985, p. 142 Daniel Marchesseau, Diego Giacometti Paris, 1986, p. 67 Artist Bio Diego Giacometti Swiss • 1902 - 1985 In 1935 Diego Giacometti took a holiday in Stampa, the Swiss town in which he grew up. The trip marked one of the first periods in which he was separated from his brother Alberto Giacometti and perhaps in connection with having removed himself from the shadow of his brother's career, he began his first animal sculptures. It was shortly after this trip that the younger Giacometti also started making furniture, after patrons admired the stands he was crafting for his brother's sculptures. Diego modeled his maquettes in plaster (as opposed to clay or wax, which was the more common choice for sculptors) and cast his furniture in bronze, a departure from most metal furniture at the time, which was cast in iron. Illustrious clients included the Maeght and Noailles families as well as the decorator Jean-Michel-Frank, who commissioned Alberto (assisted by Diego) to create plaster lighting and fireplace accessories.
