“Painting a face is like painting a landscape of tangled mountains and valleys, the nose is a gigantic mountain made up of countless boulders.”
– Catherine Grenier, Alberto Giacometti: A Biography, 2018, p. 251.
I would like to invite you to a private tour of the exhibition, Alberto Giacometti: The Measure of the World. It is now showing in Bremen until mid-February. The staging and the focus of the curators on the way Giacometti worked with landscapes and how they influenced his iconic figures is definitely worth a day trip to Bremen.
It is the first major German retrospective of the famous Swiss sculptor and painter in more than ten years. With over one hundred masterpieces and previously unseen works, it offers a comprehensive overview ranging from early water colours, small bronzes of the Surrealist period to his famous sculptures of the post-war era.
The tour will be in English.
If the group is larger than 10, the entrance fee will be €15 (regular €18, concessions €7). My fee for the tour is €20.
