Description:
"In 2023, the Fondation Giacometti is celebrating a double anniversary: the centenary of the birth of its founder, Annette Giacometti (1923-1993) and 20 years of the creation of the Fondation. Entitled 'Annette, more Infinitely', from a handwritten note by Alberto Giacometti, this exhibition-homage is devoted to the woman who was the artist's companion and female model from 1946 to his death. Heiresse of her husband, Annette Giacometti gave the last years of her life to the archiving, conservation and promotion of the funds that she inherited. Conserved by the Fondation Giacometti, these works form the largest collection of the artist on a world scale. From the first sculptures in painted plaster and the drawings made before their wedding in 1949, the exhibition presents the great variety of portraits of Annette sculpted, painted and drawn."-- Website Fondation Giacometti
