Alberto Giacometti was one of the most important artists of the Twentieth Century. The human figure was the main source of inspiration behind his work. Among the works that standout in this exhibition are his famous elongated sculptures. On the other hand, Giacometti creativity was not limited to sculpture, as he also successfully explored drawing and engraving.
