| book description |

This comprehensive survey of the work of the Swiss-born modern master Alberto Giacometti offers a fresh and incisive account of his entire creative output. Published on the occasion of Giacomettiâ€™s first major museum presentation in the U.S. in over a decade, the volume brings together nearly 200 sculptures, paintings and drawings to trace the artistâ€™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 artistâ€™s early and midcareer development. It explores his lesser-known engagement with Cubism and Surrealism as well as African, Oceanic and Cycladic art, which preceded his shift to figuration, while also highlighting his remarkable talents as a draftsman and painter alongside his sculptural oeuvre. Of particular focus is Giacomettiâ€™s studio practice, which is examined through rarely seen plaster sculptures that highlight the artistâ€™s working process, in addition to ephemera and historical photographs documenting his relationship with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum â€“ which hosted the artistâ€™s first U.S. exhibition, in 1955 â€“ and with New York City.
