Alberto Giacometti, Compared

Alberto Giacometti is certainly one of the most important European sculptors of the 20th century. Known throughout the world for his sculptures, his elongated figures are not only a stylistic signature, but also a powerful expressive theme through which the artist explores themes of solitude, fragility and persistence, proposing a new perspective on humanity and the collective psyche. The exhibition will last for almost a year at the Barbican Centre and will be an opportunity to compare Giacometti's work with the art of three other contemporary artists: Huma Bhabha, Mona Hatoum and Lynda Benglis. A dialogue that transcends time and space to talk about universal themes: death, fragmentation, memory, eroticism, horror and humour, offering a rereading of Giacometti's art from a new and current point of view.
