Fondation Giacometti

The Giacometti Foundation of Paris is pleased to participate to the reopening of La Piscine - Musée d'art et d'industrie André-Diligent after the extension work of the museum and the addition of a new wing mostly dedicated to the twentieth century sculpture.

Around the workshop of the sculptor Henri Bouchard restored in its light and its volumes of origin, this space will be organized in three sequences.

The first will evoke the different stylistic responses on enlightening themes or principles (portraits, public commissions, nudes, sacred art, work, etc.) that coexist in sculpture in the 19th and 20th centuries.
The second will present, including the reconstituted workshop of Henri Bouchard, the craft and techniques of sculpture.
The third will show how, in the modern period, public monument sculpture is the artistic expression most related to public order and political power.

In March 2019, the Fondation Giacometti will propose an Alberto Giacometti exhibition in partnership with the LaM.

As part of this exhibition project and in preview, the Fondation Giacometti is happy to loan a sculpture of Flora Mayo to the LaM.

As part of the exchange between the Fondation Giacometti in Paris and the Alberto Giacometti Stiftung Zürich, we have chosen to loan a major work from the collection, which you can admire at the Zürich Kunsthaus until March 2020.

The Fondation Giacometti and the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art have joined their forces to present the exhibition "Giacometti, Memory and Presence" in 2012-2013 and regarding the success of the exhibition, we have agreed to leave a deposit for a duration of 3 years five major works of the exhibition.

As part of the reopening of the Museum of Modern Art Lille Métropole in 2010, the Fondation Giacometti is asked for the deposit of two major works of the surrealist period from its collection.

The permanent reopening of the Villa Noailles in Hyères aims to put the patronage work of Charles and Marie Laure de Noailles back into its rightful place. The Noailles couple were passionate about literature, furniture and architecture, poetry, music, theatre, cinema, and of course the plastic arts, and carried out a dialogue for more than fifty years with art and those who make it. The Fondation Giacometti of Paris is pleased to contribute to this reopening by loaning 5 works from its collections.

As part of the new presentation of the collections of the Musée National d'Art Moderne, the Fondation Giacometti has been asked for the loan of eleven works from its collection which constitute a showcase dedicated to Alberto Giacometti.
