The result of an original investigation into Alberto Giacometti's lost sculptures, the exhibition highlights more than seventy works—reference sculptures, drawings, unpublished sketches, and archival photographs from the years 1920-1935. Alberto Giacometti experienced numerous phases of doubt throughout his career, which led him to tirelessly question his work. Often dissatisfied with the results, constantly searching, he oscillated between periods of destruction and rich phases of creation. Giacometti did not hesitate to rework his works even after exhibiting them, or even to abandon them when he deemed them to be failures. The exhibition The Vanished Work investigates these vanished or forgotten pieces, of which often only sketches or photographs taken in the artist's studio remain.
