The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Giacometti by Karole P.B. Vail, Megan Fontanella Published on the occasion of the exhibition Giacometti, co-organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York, and the Fondation Giacometti, Paris. FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher 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 Giacometti'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 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, 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 Giacometti's studio practice, which is examined through rarely seen plaster sculptures that highlight the artist's working process, in addition to ephemera and historical photographs documenting his relationship with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum - which hosted the artist's first U.S. exhibition, in 1955 - and with New York City. Notes Selecting nearly 200 of Alberto Giacometti's sculptures, paintings and drawings, this title showcases the artist's engagement with the human form across a range of mediums. Published to coincide with a major exhibition at New York's Guggenheim Museum from the 18th of June. Author Biography Karole P. B.
