The sculptures, paintings and drawings executed between the 1920s and 1960s and sumptuously showcased here enable the reader to follow Giacometti's artistic development, from his beginnings in Switzerland to his mature period, spent mostly at the studio in rue Hippolyte-Maindron, Paris. The book features absolute masterpieces like Boule suspendue, Femme qui marche, La cage, Quatre femmes sur socle, Buste d'Annette and the monumental Grande femme completed by a selection of drawings and sketches, archive images and personal and autograph photos, which will help to contextualise Giacometti's artistic process from the Surrealist period to his last years.

From the Inside Flap:
Alberto Giacometti is one of the few artists of the last century whose work is almost more recognisable than his name. His distinctive elongated figures are inescapably associated with the post-war climate of existentialist despair. This comprehensive overview of Giacometti's career focuses on the art, the people and the events that influenced him, and on the original and experimental way in which he approached and developed his work.
