“Sculpting the void”, a show dedicated to Alberto Giacometti at the Cantini Museum will open on June 6, Marseille

For the first time in Marseille, the work of sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti is being celebrated in a monographic exhibition organized by the Cantini Museum in collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation. Bringing together iconic works-plaster and bronze sculptures, paintings, drawings, and prints-the exhibition explores the theme of the void, a central concept in Giacometti’s practice, around which the different periods of his career unfold.

On view until September 28, 2025
