Alberto Giacometti Floor Lamp Triples Its Low Estimate

A patinated bronze floor lamp by Alberto Giacometti tripled its low estimate, achieving $900k against a high estimate of $350k. Designed circa 1933–1934, "Grande Feuille, Version Fine" is one of the rarest of Giacometti's lighting designs to come to auction.

Sotheby's presents a curated selection of works spanning design and the fine arts, with a particular focus on the rare and the singular. Giacometti's lamp — sculptural in its own right, made in the years before his mature figurative style took hold — reflects the depth of craft and design history the sale is built to showcase.
