Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) - Autoritratto

Art print based on a drawing by Alberto Giacometti, published in Turin by Giulio Einaudi Editore in 1963.

The work reproduces one of the artist’s characteristic drawings, marked by a sparse, tense stroke and by the search for the figure through a dense network of marks.

Of particular interest is the presence of the dry stamp of Giulio Einaudi Editore, impressed onto the paper, an editorial authentication element that identifies the print as belonging to the original Einaudi publication of 1963. The dry stamp, applied directly to the paper without the use of ink, constitutes an important distinctive feature of the edition.

It is therefore an art print from the period, published by Einaudi in 1963.
