Synopsis
Written by the author of "Henry Moore", "Interviews with Francis Banco" and "Rene Magritte", this book is the fruit of a long collaboration as sitter, friend, critic and exhibition curator with Alberto Giacometti. It is a response to Giacometti's art, with observations on his work in progress, and reflections on his completed oeuvre, after his death in 1966. David Sylvester was awarded a Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale, the first critic ever to receive this award.
