拍品专文

The American writer and journalist Robert Wernick was the first to publish, in 1974, an article in the International Herald Tribune celebrating Diego Giacometti as an independent artist from Alberto. Resident of the 14th arrondissement, he was part of a circle of artists and writers, including the Giacometti brothers who lived close by.

Alberto was to be the witness of his first marriage, and with Diego he maintained a friendship that would last 45 years. The present table is one of the testimonies of this friendship, it was a gift from Diego who had personally selected the marble surface. Wernick documented his memories of his time with the artists, Souvenirs sur les Giacomettis, in which he recalled with tenderness and affection the numerous anecdotes that he was able to share with two of the most influential figures of the 20th Century art scene.
