"Long considered one of the major sculptors of the century, even before his death in 1966, Alberto Giacometti has until recently receive scant recognition as a graphic artist. This despite the fact that his lithographs and etchings have become increasingly rare and desiderata. Now, with the publication of this volume, a serious lacuna in the Giacometti bibliography has been filled. This book offers for the first time a panoramic view of the artist's work in this field and reveals him as one of the major graphic artists of our time. Concerning itself primarily with the lithographs and etchings, but with a valuable excursus on the drawings as well, the book includes a catalogue entry and illustration for every known Giacometti print."
