Buste II (Lust 31). Original lithograph, 1960. 150 singed and numbered impressions on Rives plus c. 1500 unsigned impressions (of which ours is one) published in 1960 in a special number of the deluxe art review Derriere le Miroir. A woman, apparently Giacometti's mistress Caroline, looks directly out at the viewer. Caroline ws a prostitude with whom Giacometti became enthralled. Wanting a part of her that no one else could touch, he purchased the bottom of one of her feet as his exclusive terrain. Lust hypothesizes that this may have been Giacometti's favorite among his lithographs because it was released in the largest signed and numbered edition of any of his prints. Image size: 380x280mm. Price: Please call or email for current pricing information.
