Sotheby’s Evening Sale of Impressionist & Modern Art in New York on 6 November 2013 will be led an exceptional cast of Alberto Giacometti’s Grande tête de Diego (estimate $35/50 million), the most ambitious in a series of innovative sculptures by the artist that personified the Existentialist movement during the Cold War, as well as Tête de femme (estimate $20/30 million),a radiant image from Pablo Picasso’s celebrated series depicting Marie-Thérèse Walter, his young lover and muse. Both pieces will travel to Hong Kong, London and Moscow this autumn, before returning to New York for exhibition beginning 1 November.

Regarding Giacometti’s Grande tête de Diego, Simon Shaw, Head of Sotheby’s Impressionist & Modern Art Department in New York, commented: “Of all his representations of the human figure, Grande tête de Diego is perhaps Giacometti's most radical, visually engaging and emotionally impactful. The exaggerated profile and knife-edge frontal view allow one to experience two radically different views of his brother. Along with Giacometti’s iconic L’homme qui marche, Grande tête de Diegorepresents the definitive expression of his aesthetic.”

Regarding Picasso’s Tête de femme, David Norman, Co-Chairman of Sotheby’s Impressionist & Modern Art Department Worldwide, said: “Of all the manifestations of Picasso's prolific career, it was during the reign of his golden muse Marie-Thérèse Walter that his creativity was at its most powerful. His work was refreshed by his young love, inspiring him to paint the most colorful, joyful and ambitious compositions of his entire oeuvre. The market has demonstrated a great appreciation for this series – Picasso’s depictions of Marie-Thérèse have proven the most desirable of his works among today’s collectors, and enjoy a truly global appeal.”

Detailed releases for both works are attached, as are images.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
