Synopsis
Fifty years after the passing of Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966), this major new monograph illuminates the fundamental aspects of his oeuvre and technique in sculpture. It is based on years of extensive research and restoration work on seventy-five plasters that came to the collection of Kunsthaus Zurich as a bequest from Bruno Giacometti, Alberto's youngest brother. For Giacometti, plaster was of great importance as a material, far more than just an intermediate stage between clay model and bronze cast. It allowed him to paint or rework his objects in a vast variety of ways. A significant number of his sculptures indeed exist just in a plaster version. Featuring masterpieces from every stage of his career, this book focuses on Giacometti's artistic approach to the material nature of his chosen media, offering an insight into the creative process of one of the 20th century's greatest artists. With the plasters as a core, the selection also comprises works in other materials, such as marble, wood and bronze.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Fünfzig Jahre nach dem Tod Alberto Giacomettis (1901-1966) wirft dieses Buch neues Licht auf grundlegende Aspekte des Schaffens und die Arbeitsprozesse des weltbekannten Schweizers. Ausgangspunkt sind 75 kostbare Originalgipse aus dem Nachlass des Künstlers, die 2006 als Schenkung von Bruno und Odette Giacometti an die Alberto Giacometti-Stiftung im Kunsthaus Zürich gelangten, wissenschaftlich untersucht und sorgfältig restauriert wurden.Gips als Arbeitsmaterial hatte für Giacometti grosse Bedeutung: Er erlaubte ihm, seine Objekte auf vielfältige Weise zu bemalen oder zu bearbeiten. Nicht wenige seiner Skulpturen existieren nur in einer Gipsversion. Anhand zahlreicher Meisterwerke aus allen Schaffensphasen stellt die neue Monografie den künstlerischen Umgang Giacomettis mit der Materialität seiner Werkstoffe in den Mittelpunkt und macht den schöpferischen Prozess eines Jahrhundertkünstlers erfahrbar. Die kostbaren und fragilen Gipse stehen dabei im Fokus. Einbezogen werden aber auch zahlreiche Skulpturen in anderen Materialien wie Plastilin, Stein, Ton, Holz und Bronze.
