the
work of Alberto Giacometti. Giacometti & Maeght 1946-1966 will
assemble the
artist’s best-known masterpieces, including the bronze sculptures
L’Homme qui
marche (Walking Man), Le Chien (Dog) and Le Chat (Cat). The exhibition
will also
include paintings, plaster casts and drawings on loan from major French
and
international museums, and from private collections. The Fondation

twenty years. For twenty years they worked, debated and observed the
creative
process together. Their friendship is revealed in letters, films and
portraits
which shed new light on the man who was Alberto Giacometti.
