An exhibition celebrating the legacy of one of the twentieth century’s greatest sculptors, on view June 16 to September 29, 2019. The first major presentation of Giacometti’s art in Vancouver, this wide-ranging exhibition of paintings, sculptures, drawings and lithographs showcases Giacometti’s works alongside the ancient sculptures that served his imagination and works by famed artists with whom he was in dialogue. Featuring more than 130 artworks including those by Giacometti’s contemporaries in Paris, Jean Dubuffet, Germaine Richier, and César, it also includes works by UK-based artists with whom he had a long-standing connection such as Isabel Rawsthorne, Francis Bacon, Lynn Chadwick and Eduardo Paolozzi. In 2016, the Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts in Norwich commemorated the 50th anniversary of Giacometti’s death with A Line Through Time, which was named by The Telegraph as one of the top exhibitions of that year.
