Bacon - Giacometti at Fondation Beyeler

Alberto Giacometti (1901 - 1966) and Francis Bacon (1909 - 1992) had a decisive influence on the art of the twentieth century. The exhibition Bacon - Giacometti at Fondation Beyeler in Riehen (Basel, Switzerland) brings the two artists together for the first time. Different as their art may initially appear, the joint presentation of their work reveals many surprising similarities. This video provides you with an exhibition walk-through on the occasion of the opening reception of the show. Bacon - Giacometti runs until September 2, 2018.

how on Earth did those tall skinny giacommeti pieces ever survive all this time without a mishap or breakage? they seem so fragile 😱

I wish I could exhibit my own sculptures alongside Bacon's paintings since they are far superior to Giacometti's stupid spindly sculptures.
