Augusto Giacometti (1877-1947)

We all know that Alberto Giacometti was talented, but what do we really know about his brothers Diego, a sculptor and designer, and Bruno, an architect? And what about their father Giovanni and his cousin Augusto, both painters? The Maeght Foundation aims to set the record straight.

A few days after the remarkable sale of several pieces created by Alberto Giacometti for Jean-Michel Frank, another version of the Egyptian lamp, this time painted black, could be a further major event.

The sky really was the limit for four works by Alberto Giacometti—highlights of the collection belonging to the Hensons, a Café Society couple.

Family ties and friendship came together to send the prices of two creations the Giacometti brothers gave Brassaï sky high.

Like all of Giacometti’s design objects, this extremely rare vase with pure lines is the quintessence of his artistry.

One of the icons created by Alberto Giacometti, as a decorative object designer, this sought-after piece dazzled collectors in a sale in Bourges, in central France.

At €1,963,000, the bid for this unique web-footed bird was the highest bid of the year at Drouot, yet again acclaiming the success—and talent—of François-Xavier Lalanne.

Throughout her rich and tumultuous life, Margaret Louise Brozek acquired works of exceptional quality from limited series by Giacometti, Pompon and Hiquily.

From July 3 to November 14, the Foundation in Saint-Paul de Vence, will exhibit 5 artists of the Giacometti family: Giovanni, Augusto, Alberto, Diego and Bruno - a world first, according to the institution. More than 300 works (painting, sculpture, architecture) will be presented, together with archival material.

The bronze lamps created by the sculptor in the mid-1930s look as modern as ever.
