A new reading of the work of sculptor Alberto Giacometti
The Pinacotheque de Paris will present from September 16, 2011 to January 8, 2012, a new reading of the work of sculptor Alberto Giacometti. The exhibition, entitled Giacometti and The Etruscans, is the biggest event of the fall, expected by the specialists and artist's fans for over fifty years. Giacometti's interest for the primitive figure can be found very early in the artist's work. Etruscan art caused a considerable upheaval for Giacometti. He discovered this brilliant civilization in the archeological department of the Louvre during the exhibition on the Etruscan art and civilization in 1955 in Paris.
