Specialist note

Diego Giacometti conceived two different rug designs in his final years, 'Rencontre' (the present lot) and 'Promenade des Amis' (pictured in the comparable image with the artist). Both were produced in editions of 100, including artist proofs which went to friends and devoted clients supporting the project. The present lot is one of the artist proofs from the 'Rencontre' series.
