Envisagement - Ali Cherri, Alberto Giacometti (Bilingial Edition)

Catalogue of the exhibition Envisagement - Ali Cherri, Alberto Giacometti, presented at the Institut Giacometti, Paris (23 January - 24 March 2024).

Sharing with Giacometti a particular interest in the representation of the human head, the artist Ali Cherri explores the notion of 'envisagement', a term that refers both to the action of envisioning something and to the evocation of the face.

This double meaning finds a particularly striking echo in Giacometti's sculptures and paintings, where the human face is the motif of a ceaseless search as much as an achievement in the making.

This exhibition will feature new works by Ali Cherri, most of them specially conceived for the exhibition. These new works resonate with the rich selection of paintings, sculptures and drawings by Alberto Giacometti from the Foundation's collections.
