About the Work

Trapezoidal Console, circa 1970

Commissioned by Hubert de Givenchy

This important trapezoidal console in brown patinated bronze, signed “Diego,” presents a previously undocumented iconography. Flanked by two sculpted angels framing a setting sun, the composition reveals a poetic and symbolic dimension rarely encountered in the artist’s work.

Commissioned by Hubert de Givenchy for his residence at Les Loges-en-Josas, the piece reflects Giacometti’s enduring engagement with antique sources, notably Etruscan bronzes, translated into a language of remarkable linear elegance.
