Louisiana Museum of Modern Art Highlights Alberto Giacometti Collection and Multimedia Programming
The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art maintains a large collection of original sculptures by Alberto Giacometti that interact with the architecture of the North Wing and Giacometti Gallery. Visitors encounter Spoon Woman and Walking Woman from his Surrealist period before reaching mature works including Walking Man, Femme qui marche I, Grande tête, Venice Woman VIII and La Forêt. Museum director Poul Erik Tøjner has described Giacometti as an apostle of laboriousness who repeatedly destroyed and reworked studies.
The Signal
The permanent display underscores the museum's long-term commitment to Giacometti as a central pillar of its holdings and positions the works within a historical continuum reaching back to Etruscan art. For curators and collectors the installation demonstrates how institutional architecture can amplify the presence of mid-century sculpture and sustain public engagement with an artist whose market and scholarly standing remains high.
