The Vancouver Art Gallery Launches Summer Season

Alberto Giacometti: A Line Through Time

This summer, visitors to the Vancouver Art Gallery will have the opportunity to experience the pre-and post-war career of one of the greatest sculptors of the first half of the twentieth century with Alberto Giacometti: A Line Through Time. This wide-ranging exhibition of paintings, sculptures, drawings and lithographs showcases Giacometti’s works alongside the ancient sculptures that served his imagination, and works by famed artists with whom he was in dialogue. As part of A Line Through Time, visitors will find Giacometti’s iconic Man Walking and Standing Woman figures, as well as outstanding paintings and sculptures by Jean Dubuffet, Germaine Richier, and César who shared an interest in materiality and Existentialist-inspired realism that preoccupied Giacometti.
