Saturday Members Tour Alberto Giacometti: Toward the Ultimate Figure
MFAH members are invited to explore the Museum’s art collections and exhibitions on special Saturday tours. Topics change monthly.
In December, join a docent for an inside look at the exhibition Alberto Giacometti: Toward the Ultimate Figure, showcasing an ensemble of masterpieces by one of the most important artists of the 20th century. At a time when abstract art had grown dominant in the art world, Alberto Giacometti focused on the human figure. His works became associated with existentialism and the psychological complexities of the Cold War era.
