The sculptures, paintings and drawings executed between the 1920s and 1960s and sumptuously showcased here enable the reader to follow Giacometti's artistic development, from his beginnings in Switzerland to his mature period, spent mostly at the studio in rue Hippolyte-Maindron, Paris. The book features absolute masterpieces like Boule suspendue, Femme qui marche, La cage, Quatre femmes sur socle, Buste d'Annette and the monumental Grande femme completed by a selection of drawings and sketches, archive images and personal and autograph photos, which will help to contextualize Giacometti's artistic process from the Surrealist period to his last years.
