The top lot of the Various Owners portion of Christie's May 4 Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale was a stunning 1947 sculpture of a human hand by Alberto Giacometti, La Main, which sold for $25,842,500. The outstretched hand expresses the human need to grasp, to reach out towards the world and to aspire within it. Giacometti's La Main, as fragile as it may appear, carries the emotional and symbolic weight of all these gestures. (RT: 6:59)
