Disagreeable Object to be Thrown Away, 1931
Objet désagréable à jeter
The Surrealists sought to close the gap between art and life, allowing imagined objects to invade everyday existence and expose its fantastical character. Fittingly, Giacometti demonstratively dispenses with the substructure in these ‘objets sans base’.
