The first retrospective in South America of the sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti, one of the greatest figures of 20th Century art.
Through more than 130 works, the exhibition covers all his periods, from the initial stage in his native Switzerland, African art in the 1920s, and his most famous studies of heads and portraits, his embematic female and walking figures in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. A timeline that allows us to appreciate the various disciplines experimented by Giacometti throughout his caree (sculpture, painting, drawing, engraving, decorative art), and the revolution produced to the sculptural practice.
The works selected by Véronique Wiesinger belong to Giacometti Foundation in Paris.
