Property of a Gentleman Diego Giacometti Table berceau, première version designed circa 1963 Patinated bronze, glass. 15 1/2 x 49 1/2 x 17 in. (39.4 x 125.7 x 43.2 cm) Underside of two feet impressed A\D.
Provenance Acquired directly from the artist by Marcel Gimond France DeLorenzo Gallery, New York Acquired from the above by the present owner, 2000 Literature Michel Butor, Diego Giacometti Paris, 1985, p. 143 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.
