Six studies of Henri Matisse by Alberto Giacometti

New York: Pierre Matisse Gallery, Circa 1955. Vintage catalog for an exhibition held in 1980 at the Pierre Matisse Gallery. Features six black-and-white reproductions of the studies.

The studies were executed by Giacometti during several trips to Matisse's hotel apartment in Nice and his home in St. Paul-de-Vence throughout 1954. Giacometti created the studies as drafts for a medallion commissioned by the French mint, although the coin was ultimately never struck.
