On the occasion of the opening of the exhibition Giacometti After Models at the Hangaram Design Museum (Seoul Arts Centre), Christian Alandete, Associate Curator of the exhibition and Head of Editions, Cultural Events and Special Projects at the Fondation Giacometti, will tell you about Giacometti's work and the challenges of the recontextualization of his work for the Korean public and the use of specific museographic and scenographic devices.

Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966), is considered one of the greatest sculptors and artists of the 20th century and is often regarded as the incarnation of modernism. This exhibition highlights the first and last years of the artist through nearly 100 works, from the beginnings of his artistic career in his father's studio in Stampa (Switzerland) to his last paintings in Paris (1960-1965). The exhibition includes in particular the artist’s last work, Bust of Lotar, as well as the plastic model, unique in the world, of his iconic sculpture Walking Man, which will be presented for the first time in Asia.
The exhibition, which is the fruit of a collaboration between the Fondation Giacometti and the Covana Contents agency, will be held from 21 December, 2017 to 15 April, 2018 at the Hangaram Design Museum, Seoul Art Centre.
