Alberto Giacometti

1901～1966

Swiss existentialist sculptor, painter

Giacometti's most typical style is embodied in a series of bronze statues of standing or walking figures that began to be created in the 1940s.

His emaciated and slender body and rough body surface express his characteristic sculptural language and despair and sadness after close contact with death, such as vulnerability, loneliness, and helplessness... In short, it reflects the despair that pervaded Europe after World War II.

In 1948, the existentialist philosopher Sartre, in the foreword to Giacometti's exhibition, stated that his work expresses two basic elements: "absolute freedom and existential fear." ”

On February 3, 2010, his sculpture "The Walking Man" sold for £65 million (more than $100 million), setting a new world record for the price of an art auction.
