Giacometti

1965 Documentary

The Arts Council commissioned this film to coincide with their major retrospective of Giacometti's work at the Tate Gallery (now Tate Britain) in the summer of 1965. A similar exhibition was held concurrently at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, sealing the artist's reputation as a modern master. Listen out for Giacometti's voice and hone your French - it isn't subtitled.
