Alberto Giacometti - Dog - ( Le Chien) 1951 Bronze Statue - Sculpture For Sale

Title: Dog (Le Chien) 1951 Bronze

This work, Dog, from 1951, is the only animal sculpture in the exhibition. The dog is shown as a gaunt creature. His back seems to bear all the weight of gravity.
Aside from being one of Alberto Giacometti’s most popular works, it was also one of his most personal. The artist later described his vision for the sculpture. A preeminent artist of the 20th century, Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966) investigated the human figure for more than 40 years. This comprehensive exhibition, a collaboration with the Fondation Giacometti in Paris, features distinctive bronze sculptures and oil paintings, as well as drawings and works in plaster never before seen in the United States. Giacometti aims to provide a deeper understanding of this artist, whose intensive focus on the human condition continues to provoke and inspire new generations.
