A unique Alberto Giacometti collection in the mountain hotel. An exhibition of the printmaking work (lithographs and etchings) of the world-famous Bergell artist with a total of over 200 exhibits.

Description

The public collection of hotelier Carlos Gross at Pensiun Aldier inSent, has been assembled all over the world over more than 25 years and is the result of years of meticulous research and a great passion. It is one of the most complex public exhibitions of its kind and offers a deep and thorough insight into the artist's graphic work. It also features unpublished and little-known works by Alberto Giacometti.


Since 2017, new works have been added, as well as the collection of artist's books (Livres d'artistes).


Some bronze sculptures by his brother and talented artist Diego Giacometti, who worked in the background, are also on display. He was Alberto's main model and his assistant during the Paris years. Gross also maintained a long-standing friendship with the photographer Ernst Scheidegger, who was a close friend of Giacometti. Together, Gross and Scheidegger have built up a photo collection over ten years, which can also be seen in the hotel. All prints were made especially for this collection and are signed by Scheidegger. Great contemporary witnesses in black and white.
