Hello Everyone!
I recently acquired this beautiful (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) lamp. ;D The research starts to get a little hazy as to who, what and where these were being made. They can range anywhere from $80-$80,000. Are there any experts out there that can point me in the right direction of finding some concrete information on the lamp I have. Any help is greatly appreciated. This is my first time using the Photobucket method so please let me know if it did not work.
Thank you!

I believe this is called a Giacometti Masque Lamp from the Sirmos Collection. A resin based lamp.
And you are right, the prices are all over the place. Majority of them have double lamp sockets! Only saw 3 (including yours) with a single socket. Hmmm.... Wonder if they have been rewired?

It looks like they were retailed in the 1980s, well after Giacometti's death. The least expensive one I saw after a cursory search was $500, so you may have a good find on your hands!
