(American, 1907-1984)
Two Portraits of Alberto Giacometti, circa 1960s, stamped verso, gelatin silver prints, 14 x 11, minor wear to edges, 16 x 20 in. slight toning, vertical surface creases, scattered dust spots not re-touched; both unframed
Notes: Herbert Matter first met Giacometti in 1955, when the Guggenheim Museum asked him to do graphic design for an upcoming exhibition of Giacometti's work. Between 1960 and 1979, Herbert Matter photographed Giacometti, his work, and his studio for a book that was posthumously published in 1987 by Harry N. Abrams. According to the book, Giacometti found the photos to be "each one...a creation in itself, one more beautiful than the next." These works are a part of that series.
