Alberto Giacometti
Bonnefoy

Back in print and re-released to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the artist's death, this is the essential, authoritative monograph on Giacometti. Yves Bonnefoy examines the entire range of Alberto Giacometti's creative production - sculpture, painting, drawing, and lithographs - in this classic, singular study of the Swiss sculptor. By focusing on the works rather than on the details of the artist's life, and by relying on the evidence of Giacometti's important writings and statements, the author - a poet, essayist, and friend of the artist - provides a wealth of interpretations of Giacometti's drawings, canvases, and sculptures. Bonnefoy's eloquent and incisive text traces Giacometti's artistic development - from his experience with surrealism, to his return to figurative sculpture, to the period of his monumental Walking Man series. The superbly designed and copiously illustrated volume is further enriched with archival photographs of Giacometti's studios and five decades of artistic life in Paris. This oversized and exquisitely-produced monograph, accompanied by an extensive biographical chronology and bibliography, and illustrated with nearly 600 works and documents, has been re-released to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the master sculptor's death on January 11, 1966.
