Alberto Giacometti sculptures

Alberto Giacometti sculptures are characterised by their elongated, skeletal forms that evoke a sense of existential fragility and isolation. Often depicting the human figure in stark, minimalist detail, some of Giacometti’s most recognised works include Walking Man I and The Nose. His distinctive style, which emphasises the tension between space and form, challenges conventional representations of the body. With their textured surfaces and thin proportions, Giacometti’s sculptures are some of the most iconic of the 20th century.
