Grey Figure (Figure Grise)

Grey is “that I feel, that I see, that I want to reproduce”, the colour that “means life itself to me”, stated Alberto Giacometti. These concepts materialise in his haunting 1957 ‘Grey Figure’ (‘Figure Grise’), a monochromatic painting constituted of varying tones, textures and hues of grey. In 2016, ‘Grey Figure’ was transformed into a high-quality facsimile print by HENI in collaboration with The Estate of Alberto Giacometti.
