Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966), Woman from Venice I, 1956
Alberto Giacometti is one of the most renowned sculptors of the 20th century. His "Woman from Venice I" is a figure full of contradictions: on the one hand she is upright and self-assured, but on the other she is fragile and vulnerable; her feet anchored on the ground, timeless yet contemporary, she stands for the individual that human beings by definition embody. From the podcast series featuring highlights of the Kunstmuseum Bern’s collection.
