In the Saleroom: Alberto Giacometti’s
Grande tête mince
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> <p>Alberto Giacometti’s <em>Grande tête mince </em>– the most highly-prized of the artist’s busts – realized $53,282,500 at Christie's May 4 Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale. The stunning bronze sculpture, from the Collection of Mrs. Sidney F. Brody, was conceived in 1954 and counts among the first in Giacometti’s series of radically innovative sculptural portraits in which he sought to reclaim a more realistic and concrete sense of space. The Evening Sale portion of the Brody Collection also achieved the highest total for a single-owner sale offered at Christie’s New York. (RT: 6:16)</p> </span></span></p>
