Alberto Giacometti: The Art of Seeing
March 11–May 22
Kunsthaus Zurich, Heimplatz 1, Zurich, Switzerland
From March 11th to May 22nd, the exhibition Alberto Giacometti: The Art of Seeing will be on view at the Kunsthaus Zürich. Sight is the foundation of all visual art, and no artist has focused so centrally on the process of seeing as Swiss sculptor, painter and graphic artist Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966). The exhibition offers some 90 sculptures, paintings and drawings from all phases of his creative life to demonstrate the way Giacometti lends the psychological process of seeing a material presence.
