Alberto Giacometti Autograph Letter Signed, c 1940’s

Alberto Giacometti autograph letter signed, dated only Sunday but likely from the early 1940s as Giacometti references his young nephew Silvio, and also World War II labor camps. Composed from Giacometti’s familial home in Maloja, Switzerland, he writes in black fountain pen to his childhood friend Alice Hirschfeld, translated from French in part,

“Maloja, Sunday / Dear Alice, thank you for your letters and for the postcard, and forgive me for not writing earlier. I would often think of doing it and I always carried your letter in my portfolio with the intention of responding, but you know I am very slow. I only returned to Maloja on Tuesday. The last stretch of time in Paris I had a lot of work and was unable to do anything else, plus it was so hot that I felt like I was in a labor camp, so impatient was I to finish so I could leave. Naturally, the first few days here I felt very tired, all I did was sleep, it’s only since yesterday that I’ve begun to feel alive a little again. I’ve found that little Silvio has developed a lot, so cute, I play with him all the time, and as for my mother, she is the only one taking care of the child, my brother-in-law and Diego are often up in the mountains, I will also maybe start doing some hikes, but I will also work a little. As you can see, nothing has changed with me, all these months have passed terribly quickly, and in one month I already have to be back in Paris, I have big things to finish before then, or rather for October 15, I regret not being able to stay here as long as I usually do. Will you stay at Chexbres the whole summer? Will you not stop by Maloja? And will you come to Paris in the fall? As you said?” Sold for $2,730.

Alberto Giacometti Autograph Letter Signed re Sculpture

Alberto Giacometti autograph letter signed, with extremely rare content regarding his sculptures. Dated 5 March 1934 from Paris, he writes in black fountain pen to his childhood friend Alice Hirschfeld, translated from French in part, “Paris, March 5, 1934 / Dear Alice, Excuse my too-long silence, since I arrived I have thought every day of writing to you. Events and a kind of general dejection have prevented me from sending you news of myself. In Zurich you were infinitely kind; the more I see you, the happier I am to see you again, and I am expressing myself very poorly.” Sold for $2,200.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir Drawing — Portrait of a Young Girl ”Fillette”

French Impressionist master Pierre-Auguste Renoir pen and ink drawing with ink wash of a young girl with a hat, entitled ”Fillette”. The drawing, created circa 1882, is signed with the initial, ”R”. Renoir, who had been painting Parisian scenes for many years, saw his fame take off when, along with other Impressionist painters, including Monet, Degas and Cezanne, his work was represented in the first Impressionist Exhibition in 1874. He painted scenes of people at work and play, often painting women and girls. He was known for his free brush strokes and the warm sensuality present in the light and color of his palette. Two of Renoir’s most famous paintings, ”Luncheon of the Boating Party” and ”Girl With a Hoop”, were completed during the early 1880’s when this drawing was made. The drawing, measuring 5.5” x 7.75”, is in fine condition. With provenance from Sotheby’s. Also featured in: (1) page 171, Vol. II of ”Pastels & Drawings of Pierre-Auguste Renoir” by Ambroise Vollard. Paris: 1918; (2) page 568, Vol. II of ”Renoir. Catalogue Raisonne of the Paintings, Pastels, Drawings and Watercolours 1882-1894” by Guy-Patrice & Michel Dauberville. Paris: 2009. Described here as watercolour and without mention of signature. Sold for $65,959.
