DISCOVER GIACOMETTI AT TATE MODERN / FROM 10 MAY _ 10 SEPTEMBER 2017

Discover Giacometti from 10 may until 10 September 2017. Tate Modern presents the UK’s first major retrospective of Alberto Giacometti for 20 years. "This exhibition reasserts Giacometti’s place alongside the likes of Matisse, Picasso and Degas as one of the great painter-sculptors of the twentieth century. Through unparalleled access to the extraordinary collection and archive of the Fondation Alberto et Annette Giacometti, Paris, Tate Modern’s ambitious and wide-ranging exhibition brings together over 250 works. It includes rarely seen plasters and drawings which have never been exhibited before and showcases the full evolution of Giacometti’s career across five decades, from early works such as Head of a Woman [Flora Mayo] 1926 to iconic bronze sculptures such as Walking Man I 1960." www.tate.org.uk

‘I have the feeling, or the hope, that I am making progress each day. That is what makes me work, compelled to understand the core of life.' – Giacometti
