'OTTILIA GIACOMETTI - Works by Giovanni and Alberto Giacometti' at Kunsthaus Zürich


Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

This exhibition is devoted to Ottilia, the daughter of Giovanni and Annetta Giacometti and sister of Alberto, Diego and Bruno. It turns the spotlight on the least-known figure in the family, who died in 1937 at the age of just 33 while giving birth to her son Silvio.

Some 60 paintings, drawings and sculptures by Giovanni and #albertogiacometti show Ottilia as a child, adolescent and young woman. The last section of the exhibition looks at the portraits of her son Silvio created by Alberto between 1943 and 1945: for Alberto, Ottilia’s memory lived on in his nephew, of whom he was extremely fond.

Almost 30 years on from the ‘La mamma a Stampa’ exhibition on Annetta at the #kunsthauszurich, a series of pictures and un-published documents illustrate the strong bonds between the Giacomettis, and reveal the intimacy of family life.

Curator: Casimiro Di Crescenzo

Supported by the Hulda and Gustav Zumsteg Foundation, the Ars Rhenia Foundation and Annette Bühler.
