The Giacometti Foundation, Paris opened a new permanent space dedicated to exhibitions, as well as art history research and pedagogy. Directed by Catherine Grenier, director of the Giacometti Foundation since 2014, the Giacometti Institute aims to provide new perspectives on the artist’s work and on the creative period in which it emerged. With nearly 350 sculptures, 90 paintings, over 2 000 drawings and an equally significant collection of etchings, as well as decorative art objects, the Giacometti Foundation possesses the most richly diverse collection of Alberto Giacometti’s works in the world: a collection which it is responsible for preserving, restoring, and enhancing. The Foundation also has a remarkable archive and photography collection at its disposal, along with a reference library on modern art. This invaluable heritage has remained partly inaccessible to the public since the artist’s death
