Alberto Giacometti1931
Kunsthaus Zürich
Zurich, Switzerland
Objet désagréable' was created as a cast of a preceding model made using a multi-part negative plaster mould (plaster piece-mould). The surface displays no evidence of further working.
No subsequent moulds were made from this plaster, meaning that it did not serve as a template for a bronze cast.
