{"product_id":"giacometti","title":"Giacometti","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Guggenheim Museum Publications,U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32080715415635,"sku":"9780892075386","price":62.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780892075386.jpg?v=1780025438","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/giacometti","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
