Title: Alberto Giacometti
Description: New York, The Museum of Modern Art / Kunsthaus Zurich, 2001. Hardcover. Light gray cloth, black & illus. dust jacket, 296 pp. 143 BW illus. 112 color plates. Issued in conjunction with 2001-2002 exhibitions featuring the work of Swiss sculptor & painter Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966). Today, one hundred years after his birth and a generation after his death, Alberto Giacometti is recognized as one of the small group of modern masters who dominated art during much of the twentieth century. This centennial volume both celebrates his achievement and reexamines his work, and thus contributes to a more focused concentration on the art itself" "The importance of reassessing Giacometti's work resides not only in each new generation finding a somewhat different artist than its forebears, but also in that each fresh look tends to impede the spread of myths and generalizations that shield us from the complexities of a great artist's oeuvre. This publication is meant to extend popular and critical understanding of Giacometti's achievement and to return the reader to the center of Giacometti's work, where new insights can only be revealed by the objects themselves."--Jacket. Contents as follows: Giacometti and surrealism / Anne Umland -- Phenomenon and imagination / Tobia Bezzola -- Plates: Alberto Giacometti, 1901-1966 / Christian Klemm. VG/VG: Exlibrary book.
