Cette paire d’Arbres de vie est la toute première commande issue de la grande amitié qui va lier durant prés de vingt ans Hubert de Givenchy, Bunny Mellon et Diego Giacometti. Elle a été réalisée pour le jardin potager dessiné par Bunny Mellon pour la première maison de campagne d’Hubert de Givenchy à Loges-en-Josas, dans les Yvelines, où chaque arbre était présenté sur un socle d’un mètre cinquante de haut, de part et d’autre de l'entrée.
This pair of Trees of Life was the very first commission that came out of the great friendship that bound Hubert de Givenchy, Bunny Mellon and Diego Giacometti for almost twenty years. It was made for the kitchen garden designed by Bunny Mellon for Hubert de Givenchy’s first country house at Loges-en-Josas, in the Yvelines, where each tree was displayed on a plinth one and half metres high, on either side of the entrance.
