In Giacomettis Atelier

In Giacometti's Studio takes a look at one of the most influential places in 20th century art, namely the tiny studio where the great sculptor lived and worked until his death in Montparnasse from 1926. For almost 40 years, this chaotic but highly creative place was the center of Alberto Giacometti's world. His studio was a magnet for a whole generation of artists and writers in Paris, from Picasso and Braque to Breton, Sartre, Genet and Beckett. Michael Peppiatt is an expert on the life and work of Alberto Giacometti. The author initially worked in London as an art critic for the Observer until he moved to Paris in the late 1960s to write about art for Le Monde and as a correspondent for the New York Times and the Financial Times. A captivating and vivid exploration of one of the most evocative and influential spaces in 20th-century art
