An abstracted nude man strides forward on long, spindly legs with his arms by his sides in this free-standing bronze sculpture. The man’s limbs are unnaturally thin and elongated with oversized hands and feet. The surface of the sculpture and the narrow, rectangular base is bumpy and rough. His body is angled to our right against a light gray background in this photograph.

Interior - Annette Sewing

Alberto Giacometti · 1954 · graphite on wove paper ·  Accession ID  1995.47.43

An abstracted, nude person stands on a platform perched on two wheels, all cast in bronze, which balances on wooden blocks in this freestanding sculpture. The elongated, unnaturally thin woman stands with her arms slightly bent and held out to her sides. She has low-set breasts, and her blocky, oversized feet stand on a metal platform supported on two vertical strips of bronze that perch on the axle. The wheels are oversized with four spokes each arranged to look like Xs. The surface of the woman and wheels are rough and knubby, and all of the metal is colored gold. The wood blocks stand upright with channels cut into their upper surfaces to hold the wheels. The sculpture is angled to our left in this photograph, and it is shown against a pale gray background.
