Fred Licht (Apparato iconografico a cura di Annarita Fuso).

Artist:
Alberto Giacometti.

Exhibition description:
This exhibition brought together six works by Giacometti from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. This group presentation sought to analyze Giacometti’s particular development in sculpture (his understanding of surrealism, existentialism and the human figure), as well as to draw attention to a core segment of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection by focusing on a single artist. This exhibition was dedicated to the memory of Sir John Pope-Hennessy.
