The Fondation Maeght is presenting an exceptional retrospective of the work of Alberto Giacometti. Open through 31 October 2010.
Giacometti & Maeght 1946-1966 will assemble the artist’s best-known masterpieces, including the bronze sculptures Walking Man, Dog and Cat. The exhibition will also include paintings, plaster casts and drawings on loan from major French and international museums, and from private collections.
Some of these works are being presented to the public for the first time.
The Fondation Maeght will also honour the man himself. Alberto Giacometti and Aimé Maeght were friends for twenty years. For twenty years they worked, debated and observed the creative process together. Their friendship is revealed in letters, films and portraits which shed new light on the man who was Alberto Giacometti.
A longstanding project that brings together over 170 important works, this retrospective will give visitors an insider’s view of Giacometti. It will be the major event in the art calendar for summer 2010.
