KLEMM, Christian [296] pp. The Museum of Modern Art 2001 12" x 9 3/4" Alberto Giacometti (10 October 1901 11 January 1966) was a Swiss sculptor, painter, draftsman and printmaker. This comprehensive survey of the work of the Swiss-born modern master Alberto Giacometti offers a fresh and incisive account of his creative output. Published on the occasion of Giacometti s first major museum presentation in the US in over a decade, the volume brings together nearly 200 sculptures, paintings and drawings to trace the artist s wide-ranging 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 artist s early and midcareer development. It explores his lesser-known 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 Giacometti s studio practice, which is examined through rarely seen plaster sculptures that highlight the artist s working process, in addition to historical photographs documenting his relationship with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum―which hosted the artist s first US museum exhibition, in 1955―and with New York City. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 17721
