The Sculpture That Rewrote the Rules of Representation

Grande tête mince is Alberto Giacometti’s masterpiece. Here we find the definitive expression of his quest for a new sculptural language, one that captures the artist at his most evocative and haunting. Encountering this uniquely painted bust of the artist’s brother Diego, whether head-on or from the side, leads to necessary surprise and discovery on the part of the viewer.
