Giacometti

Dal Sunday 31 May 2009
al Sunday 11 October 2009

This great summer exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler promises to become a highlight in the European cultural calendar. It is devoted to the Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966), who during his career in Paris became one of the most influential artists of modernism. His stark figures, expressive paintings, and poetic drawings have lost none of their power to move us. Giacometti saw himself as part of a cosmos in space and time, in which members of his family formed key points of reference. The exhibition shows over one hundred significant works from every phase of the artist's career, on loan from the family collection and renowned collections around the world. These are supplemented by selected works by his father Giovanni, his brother Diego, and his uncle Augusto.
