About the Item
The sculpture "Le Main" (The Arm), created after the renowned artist Alberto Giacometti, is an evocative piece likely crafted in the 1960s or 1970s. This early sculpture mirrors the celebrated work of Giacometti and is expertly crafted from white plaster with a metal inner structure. Over time, the plaster has developed an orange hue in some areas, a result of the rusted metal underneath, which adds an authentic vintage charm and highlights the sculpture's age.
The central stem of the sculpture, made from unfinished steel, has completely rusted, contributing to its aged appearance and enhancing its character. The base, also constructed from solid plaster, provides a sturdy foundation for this remarkable piece. This sculpture is not only a decorative art object but also a tribute to one of the most sought-after artists of the 20th century. It captures the essence of Giacometti's style, with its elongated form and textured surface, making it a fascinating and aesthetically pleasing addition to any art collection.
Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) was a Swiss sculptor, painter, and draughtsman renowned for his distinctive, elongated human figures. His work, characterized by its expressive and often haunting forms, captures the essence of existentialism and the human condition. Giacometti's sculptures, paintings, and drawings reflect a deep exploration of space, perspective, and the fragility of human existence. Living in Paris for most of his career, he became a central figure in the Surrealist movement and later the existentialist circle, influencing 20th-century art with his innovative approach and profound vision.

Giacomo Onestini ceramic sculpture Italy 1970
By Giacomo Onestini
Located in Roosendaal, Noord Brabant
Beautiful ceramic sculpture designed by Giacomo Onestini made in his own atelier in Italy in 1970. It has a combination of matte and shiny glazed surfaces. The back and sides of the sculpture have a textured surface with shades of gray, green, and sometimes turquoise. On the front, there's a carved-out section that's smooth and glazed with red and gold hues. It's a very appealing and intriguing piece. You can find the artist's signature, "Onestini," on the side of the sculpture. This piece was created in the artist's personal studio. Very nice large sized, heavy piece and in excellent condition.
After graduating as a master ceramist, Onestini moved to San Marino where he found employment at the "Marmaca" ceramics factory. Around the end of the 1950s, he moved to Salerno and began working with the "Ernestine...
