Man Pointing was made very rapidly for Giacometti’s first exhibition in New York. He recalled: ‘I did that piece in one night between midnight and nine the next morning. That is, I’d already done it, but I demolished it and did it all over again because the men from the foundry were coming to take it away. And when they got here, the plaster was still wet.’ It was originally intended to be part of a larger composition, with the left arm positioned loosely around a second figure. Giacometti later abandoned the idea, and considered Man Pointing to be a complete work.

New York is a terrifying and brutal place. The skyscrapers are satanic, the subway is like drain and nothing has any paint on it. Anything that doesn't haven't have an instant utility is bypassed. Anybody who isn't working a 12 hour day is probably sponging off their parents. I have always thought that the people I most respected were people whose work takes place in savage markets: if people don't buy it, you fail. There's a certain truth to that that isn't quite so clear in anything I do. I can always wriggle my way clear of such harsh judgments. But here it just seems like too much. 'The market' conditions severely constrain the spectrum within which the kind of 'honest' transactions I revere can take place. If you want to study, it's $45,000 *a year* for your tuition fees. The only way you can pay that kind of debt off is to seek the most brutal of jobs defending the most brutal companies. I don't understand where people get the money to spend $2,700 a month on a studio flat? I don't understand how more people aren't killing themselves. I don't understand how anybody can really reach their potential on these terms. Or at least I don't see how they can reach their potential in a way which is good for them, or apart from anything else, good for the rest of us. I was reading Negri this week. He says that capitalism is 'technology + markets' and that socialism (after organised labour etc) is 'technology + democracy' - this is definitely 'technology + markets'. Vote for the Green Party in May: if a vote for the Tories is a vote for this - don't do it.
