Giacometti & the Human Form at the Guggenheim

Midday on WNYC | Jul 25, 2018

Megan Fontanella, curator of modern art and provenance at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, discusses the Guggenheim’s new exhibit, “Giacometti,” which focuses on the famed 20th-century artist, Alberto Giacometti, and his preoccupation with the human form. This comprehensive exhibition is a collaboration with the Giacometti Foundation in Paris and features works in bronze and oil, as well as plaster sculptures and drawings that have never been shown in the U.S.

The Giacometti exhibition is on view through September 12. The Guggenheim has extended hours on Tuesdays, open until 9 pm through September 11.

This segment is guest hosted by DW Gibson.
