Pablo Picasso and Alberto Giacometti surpassed yesterday in New York all thinkable values in the sale of art. I have to redo the phrase works by Pablo Picasso and Alberto Giacometti surpassed yesterday in New York all thinkable values in the sale of art. The most expensive painting ever, the most expensive sculpture ever. Some even went to Christie “s to say goodbye to the Auction parts, predicting that do not return so soon to be available to the public. Museums can not afford to come to these purchases and the money is now in the Far East.
Giacometti and Picasso were contemporaries in Paris and wandered between admiration and rivalry. The Catalan Pablo, solar, round face, lover of life, was older than 20 years the Swiss Alberto, nocturnal, frown, look disturbing and collected with his brother Diego in a miserable studio The lives of one and the other had moments of contact and common concerns -. First, the survival, later the wars that swept Europe, and both had the happiness of recognition still life. But Picasso lived 91 years, surrounded by the end of women, children, grandchildren, in a full of life colors as the gigantic work left. Giacometti, impotent as a result of mumps that had a kid and lame after a hit in Paris, crept in very strong connection to family left in the Alps, had some neurotic women and many prostitutes.
The biographies of both intersect with these greats who have lived the effervescent bohemian Paris in the twentieth century , Man Ray Cartier – Bresson and Sartre. And it is guaranteed that visited the museum and saw the great painting and the large sculpture, walked the Louvre, is fascinated with African arts, worked, worked, worked hard. It was in the Louvre certainly got the picture now sold for 161 million euros, made from Les femmes d ‘Alger dans leur Appartement that Eugène Delacroix painted in 1834. The appartement is a harem that Delacroix could see the hand of a Privateer when he was in North Africa, one convoluted history and an extraordinary picture. Picasso made 15 versions of Femmes d ‘Alger, and was one of them at 0, which yesterday reached the crazy value.
Giacometti spent years and years to carve tiny men who fit into matchboxes, to the anger of art dealers. L ‘homme qui pointe, sold for 126.6 million euros, was made one night after being destroyed and thrown away, as was his custom. This spiky finger man were made six copies, one this, and the least we have this assurance:. some are in museums that we will leave to look at this figure slender, threadlike, beautiful to terrifying
