Giacometti made six casts of the work plus one artist's proof. Pointing Man is in the collections of New York's Museum of Modern Art London's Tate Gallery, and the Des Moines Art Center. One of the others is also in a museum, and the rest are in foundation collections or owned privately.

Ifeconwaba:...and Iberibeism. Most of the rich oyibos will rather spend on unimportant things than give the money to the poor. They believe that if they worked hard to make the money, every other person should and to a great extent, I don't blame them. 1 Like |
