Spectacular Alberto Giacometti bowl revealed at BRAFA 2024
Not to be missed at this year's BRAFA Art Fair, a unique bowl by Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966), presented by Céline Mathivet of Galerie Mathivet.
With its spectacular dimensions, this circa 1948 coupe "Oblongue" is at once a bowl and a sculpture. It gives the feeling of a freshly unearthed artefact and moves between a sculpture and an everyday object. Swiss sculptor, painter, draughtsman and printmaker Alberto Giacometti was one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. His work was mainly influenced by artistic styles such as cubism and surrealism. Philosophical questions about the human condition and existential and phenomenological debates played an important role in his work. He is particularly widely known for his figurative œuvre that is iconic and of an incomparable style.
Visit the BRAFA Art Fair at Brussels Expo until 4 February 2024 and make sure to spot this highlight at the Mathivet Gallery.
