Reference: Catalogue Lust 47 - Kornfeld 398 // Tête d'homme III by Alberto Giacometti, created in 1964, is a lithograph on Rives BFK paper, showcasing the artist’s mastery in capturing the essence of the human figure through minimalistic line work. The print, part of a limited edition of 75 and published by Maeght in Paris, features a haunting, sketch-like portrait of a man’s head. Giacometti’s characteristic use of sparse, yet intensely expressive lines draws attention to the face, creating a sense of depth and vulnerability. The work feels almost ephemeral, as if the figure is emerging or fading into the paper, reflecting Giacometti’s existential exploration of the human condition. The lithograph’s full margins and delicate execution emphasize the simplicity and power of Giacometti's artistic approach. Signed and numbered in pencil, this piece is a poignant representation of his introspective and iconic style.
