A view of the Giacometti's (1901-1966) Paris studio at mid-century. According to the Fondation-Giacometti, Paris, "On 1 December 1926, Giacometti moved into a studio with mezzanine measuring 15 feet by 16 feet at 46 rue Hippolyte-Maindron. The studio was part of a building complex off the rue d'Alésia, at the corner of the rue du Moulin Vert [see lot 521]. Around 1932, he rented the studio just opposite his for his brother, who had joined him as his assistant. In spite of having frequently expressed his desire to move out of his studio during the 1930s, due to lack of comfort and leaks caused by faulty roofing, Giacometti moved in permanently to the rue Hippolyte-Maindron after the war, upon his return to Paris in September 1945."
