The exhibition presents more than fifty sculptures of the artist compared with twenty-five works by other major artists such as Rodin, Bourdelle, Mail- lol, Despiau but also Brancusi, Laurens, Lipchitz.
The chronological and thematic itinerary highlights the relationships with these artists and the stages of the evolution of Giacometti’s style.
