Alberto Giacometti. Percorsi Lombardi

In the biography and work by Giacometti there is a whole Lombard chapter, often neglected, that unravels from Paris, to Bregaglia, Chiavenna and Milan and that deals with his important friendships with different personalities, among which the sculptor from Valtellina Mario Negri, the writer Giorgio Soavi, the art critics Lamberto Vitali, Luigi Carluccio, Franco Russoli, Alberto Martini and Gian Alberto Dell’Acqua, the pressman Giorgio Upiglio and doctor Serafino Corbetta.
The exhibition Alberto Giacometti. Percorsi lombardi/Alberto Giacometti. Lombard Paths arrives now to document his whole career through about ninety of his works, such as sculptures, paintings, drawings and etchings – coming from the Giacometti Foundation and the Kunsthaus of Zurich, from the Alberto e Annette Giacometti Foundation of Paris, the Kunstmuseum of Winterthur, the B¸ndner Kunstmuseum of Coira, from the Bertarelli City Collections of Milan, and many private collectors – as well as a substantial section of photographs, letters and videos. The exhibition is produced by the Gruppo Credito Valtellinese Foundation in cooperation with the Council of Sondrio, Valtellinese Museum of History and Art and the Swiss Cultural Centre. Curated by Casimiro Di Crescenzo and Franco Monteforte, the exhibition takes place in Sondrio from 20 January 2005, in two venues: the Credito Valtellinese Gallery and the Valtellinese Museum of History and Art.
