Book Synopsis


Trade Review
The Swiss master of the skinny sublime is the subject of a majestic, exhuasting retropective. -- Peter Schjeldahl * The New Yorker *
Giacometti’s willful distortions transcend eccentricity and artifice. -- Lance Esplund * Wall Street Journal *
A terrific selection of paintings and drawings...whose lyricism is as suprising as birds escaping a magician's tophat. -- Peter Schjeldahl * The New Yorker *
This modern artist takes us back in time as much as he shows a way ahead. -- David D'Arcy * The Observer *
When all of us are trailed by inescapable terabytes of data, we can almost envy Giacometti’s slender bronze wraiths: stripped to the bone but still human, stripped of their names but still free. -- Jason Farago * New York Times *
