A comprehensive survey of the work of the legendary Swiss artist,
this book illustrates and examines more than 100 of his sculptures,
paintings, drawings, and prints This lavishly illustrated
retrospective traces the early and midcareer development of the
preeminent Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966), examining
the emergence of his distinct figural style through works including
a series of walking men, elongated standing women, and numerous
busts. Rare paintings and drawings from his formative period show
the significance of landscape in Giacometti's work, while also
revealing the influence of the postimpressionist painters that
surrounded his father, the artist Giovanni Giacometti. Other areas
of inquiry on which Alberto Giacometti casts new light are his
studio practice-amply illustrated with photographs-his obsessive
focus on depicting the human head, his collaborations with poets
and writers, and his development of the walking man sculpture,
thanks to numerous drawings, many of which have never been shown.
Original essays by modern art and Giacometti specialists shed new
light on era-defining sculptural masterpieces, including the
Walking Man, the Nose, and the Chariot, or on key aspects of his
work, such as the significance of surrealism, his drawing practice,
or the question of space. Distributed for the Cleveland Museum of
Art Exhibition Schedule: Cleveland Museum of Art (March 12-June 12,

The groundbreaking sculptor's most comprehensive monograph to date
Jean-Michel Othoniel is an artist who creates sculptures that explore themes of fragility, transformation, and ephemerality. Using the repetition of such modular elements as bricks or beads, his work deploys various strategies that hint at loss and despair – cracks in his objects' perfect surfaces, negative spaces and, early in his career, transient materials such as sulfur. The most authoritative study of the artist's work to date, it includes intimate gallery pieces as well as monumental public commissions around the world.
Volume one of this beautiful new book features archival images of
both artists among new texts by curator Joachim Pissarro and
others, as well as never- before-translated texts by Isaku
Yanaihara, Dino Buzzati, and Pierre Descargues. Detailed
illustrated chronologies for each artist complete volume one, while
the colorful second volume includes colour plates of all the works
displayed during Gagosian Gallery s 2016 London exhibition of the
same title, as well as installation images.
