A fresh appraisal of Giacometti s output, from painting to sculptureThis comprehensive survey of the work of the Swissborn modern master Alberto Giacometti offers a fresh and incisive account of his creative output. Published on the occasion of Giacomettis first major museum presentation in the US in over a decade, the volume brings together nearly 200 sculptures, paintings and drawings to trace the artists wideranging and hugely innovative engagement with the human form across various mediums.While Giacometti may be best known for his distinct figurative sculptures that emerged after World War II, including a series of elongated standing women, striding men and expressive busts, this volume devotes equal attention to the artists early and midcareer development. It explores his lesserknown engagement with Cubism and Surrealism as well as African, Oceanic and Cycladic art, while also highlighting his remarkable talents as a draftsman and painter alongside his sculptural oeuvre. Of particular focus is Giacomettis studio practice, which is examined through rarely seen plaster sculptures that highlight the artists working process, in addition to historical photographs documenting his relationship with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museumwhich hosted the artists first US museum exhibition, in 1955and with New York City.Alberto Giacometti was born in Borgonovo, Switzerland, in 1901. In 1922, Giacometti settled in Paris, and began to exhibit his sculptures. By 1930 he was a participant in the Surrealist circle, up until 1934also the year that he first exhibited in the US, at the legendary Julien Levy Gallery in New York. From 1942, Giacometti lived in Geneva, where he associated with the publisher Albert Skira. In 1948, he was given a solo show at the Pierre Matisse Gallery, New York. In 1955, he received retrospectives at the Arts Council Gallery, London, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. He received the Sculpture Prize at the 1961 Carnegie International in Pittsburgh. In 1965, retrospective exhibitions were organized by the Tate Gallery, London, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. Giacometti died in 1966.
