About Alberto Giacometti & Salvador Dalí
A collaboration between The Dalí Museum and Fondation Alberto et Annette Giacometti in Paris; this groundbreaking exhibition marks the first time these two iconic artists have been presented in a comparative setting in the United States.
The exhibition features a rich selection of works by Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966), drawn from the collections of Fondation Giacometti, including paintings, sculptures and archival materials. These are displayed alongside works by Salvador Dalí from The Dalí Museum’s collection. Together, they illuminate the surprising similarities in the artists’ visions, despite their distinct stylistic approaches.
While Dalí and Giacometti are often seen as separate figures within the Surrealist movement, Alberto Giacometti & Salvador Dalí delves into a lesser-known artistic dialogue between the two that began in the 1930s. Though their paths diverged in many ways, both artists shared a deep exploration of surrealism, the subconscious and the human form—key themes that define their lasting legacies.
This exhibition is curated by Dr. Emilie Bouvard, Director of Collections and Scientific Programmes at Fondation Giacometti, and Dr. William Jeffett, Chief Curator at The Dalí Museum, the exhibition traces the evolving visual dialogue between Giacometti and Dalí, shedding new light on their shared influence and impact on modern art.
