one of only two images
I could find on int'rn'n't
of this giacometti work
titled something like
"study for a corridor / passage"
I wonder where it is right now
what real world display case, or
storage box
I was hatching a plan to take from its overly thick plastic display case a giacometti work, four tiny ladies stood on/in a block, from the liverpool walker art gallery -- I would have used a hack saw, a cloth, and probably an accomplice -- the walker art gallery is quite a nice spot, and I meant them no harm, only the display of the work seemed inadequate -- also I would like a giacometti work in my room -- another nice work, inadequately displayed, in the walker art gallery, was an obscure painting of a jesus manifestation, by some little known artist and I don't remember now his name -- it was inadequately displayed about 6 feet above a staircase, could only be seen by craning one's neck in an area much going to and fro, and from the upper half of the painting the gallery lights seemed to reflect and obscure further what seemed tantalising and great.
QUOTE: "... 'Project for a Passageway'(1930)-- an abstract plaster vivisection of a female body, complete with stylised womb and genitals -- shows how adept Giacometti is at imbuing material with psychology. Passageway sports what is either a clitoris or a penis on a little spring so it can wriggle around. . . . "
