The Picasso Museum presents Alberto Giacometti (Alberto y Annette Giacometti Foundation, Paris). ¨A Retrospective¨, an exhibition that shows the different stages of the artistic career of one of the most prominent artists of the past century. His work is key to understanding the development of avant-garde and the subsequent evolution of contemporary art, nevertheless, he is an unclassifiable author. This project challenges the reductionist view that has often been considered the work of this creator. The exhibition is available from October 27th until February 5th 2012 at the Picasso Museum in Malaga.

The Picasso museum in Malaga, the birthplace of the artist, was funded by the Junta de Andalusia with the support of Picasso´s heirs, and is the fulfilment of a lifelong dream of the artist. One of the world's many Picasso museums, it opened in 2003 in the Buenavista Palace, and has 155 works donated by members of Picasso's family, pieces that cover "all the creative periods of the artist's work", and include creations from his youth to those which he signed at the end of his life.
