Alberto Giacometti s youngest brother Bruno (1907 2012) bequeathed to the Kunsthaus Zurich a collection of around one-hundred works on paper by Alberto. This well-guarded family treasure represents Alberto s entire life, from his youth in Stampa (Switzerland) to his late years in Paris. It includes very early copies of works by old masters as well studies of ancient Egyptian and Roman sculptures from the 1920s. The collection also shows how Alberto closely looked at the art of Henri Matisse, Paul Cezanne and Auguste Rodin, leading to highly individual interpretations. It comprises important portraits of some of the artist s relatives and self-portraits, alpine landscapes from his native Val Bregaglia and masterful figure studies from the 1950s and 60s. This small new book features for the first time a selection of these works alongside an essay on their history and significance and an illustrated catalogue of the entire collection. "
