Winner of a Venice Bienniale Golden Lion Award, Looking at Giacometti is a compelling mixture of biography and criticism, including an extraordinary interview with Giacometti.Written over a period of forty years, Looking at Giacometti is a profound response to the art of one of modernism`s greatest sculptors. It takes students from world-renowned art critic David Sylvester`s first visits to Giacometti`s studio in the late 1940s to the author`s prolonged sitting for the artist`s portrait of him in the 1960 and reflections on his complete oeuvre after Giacometti`s death.
