About this title

Synopsis:

Giacometti is represented by works from the two most intense phases of his career Surrealist (from 1929-1934) and Post-war (1947-1965) which demonstrates the full developmental range of his mature style. Each work is reproduced full page. The inclusion of prints and drawings emphasises the importance of drawing as integral to the creation of his sculpture.

Synopsis:

An exhibition of sculptures and graphics by Alberto Giacometti one of the great and most independent spirits of 20th century Western art. A celebration of the now familiar Giacomrtti style, the characteristic elongated, bean-pole slenderness of standing figures and portrait busts.
