Alberto Giacometti’s ‘Grande femme I’ is being sold by Sotheby’s by a secretive sealed bid auction, with a minimum price of $90 million
NEW YORK – A sculpture by Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti is being auctioned by Sotheby’s with a reserve price of $90 million but the winning offer on Tuesday could remain secret as it is being sold by sealed bid.
If “Grande femme I” sells for more than $100 million, Giacometti will equal Pablo Picasso as only the second artist with four works beyond that threshold.
