About the poster: In 1961, Galerie Maeght in Paris hosted a landmark exhibition dedicated to the work of Alberto Giacometti, the Swiss sculptor and painter renowned for his haunting, elongated human figures. This exhibition was a pivotal moment in Giacometti’s career, presenting a powerful selection of sculptures, drawings, and paintings that emphasized his existential exploration of the human form and condition.
Galerie Maeght, known for its close relationships with leading modern artists, had long supported Giacometti, and the 1961 show deepened his association with the gallery. It also helped solidify his international reputation during a time when post-war European art was gaining renewed global attention. The exhibition poster, now iconic, was designed in close collaboration with Giacometti himself, reflecting his minimalist and introspective aesthetic.
