This publication and the accompnaying exhibition echo Jean Genet's famous 1957 essay, L'Atelier d'Alberto Giaocometti. Both explore the various facets of the now famous studio on rue Hippolyte Maidron - laboratory, ritual place and major component of the artist's work. This studio where Giacometti, one of the 20th century's major artists, lived from 1926 to 1965, is probaby placed at the very core of the building, the presentation and the disemination of his work and his own image. This book is illustrated by many previously unseen archives.
