Title: Alberto Giacometti's Woman with Her Throat Cut, 1932
Description: Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, 1980. Softcover. White wraps, 32 pp. BW illus. A study of one sculpture rendered by Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966). His "femme egorgee (Women with her throat cut or sometimes translated as 'slaughtered woman') is the most prominent surrealist work in the permanent collection of the Gallery. It is also a puzzling, enigmatic work on first acquaintance. This publication aims to make the meaning of the sculpture more clear and show what led up to it in the work of the artist, and in the work of other artists connected with the surrealist movement." (p. 3). G (Slight soiling to white covers; slight bend at heel of spine; label & few marks as ex-library; interior otherwise clean.) .
