A preeminent artist of the twentieth century, Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966) investigated the human figure for more than forty years. This comprehensive exhibition, a collaboration with the Fondation Giacometti in Paris, examines anew the artist’s practice and his unmistakable aesthetic vocabulary. Featuring nearly 200 drawings, paintings, and sculptures, “Giacometti” aims to provide a deeper understanding of the artist, whose intensive focus on the human condition continues to provoke and inspire new generations.
“Giacometti” is on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York from June 8 to September 12, 2018.
