Dubuffet and Giacometti, both born in 1901 in France and Switzerland, respectively, forged deeply philosophical artistic outlooks inspired by the devastation and disorientation of the two world wars. While there is no record of direct correspondence between them, the Paris-based artists rubbed shoulders often enough to interpret reciprocity in their practices. They exhibited regularly with Pierre Matisse Gallery, where Dubuffet’s first solo exhibition occurred in 1947 and Giacometti’s in 1948. With singular bodies of work articulating the alienation and estrangement of a generation, the artists became icons of a postwar European vision at home and across the Atlantic.
In New York, they both found acclaim and were among the roster of artists in the Museum of Modern Art’s (1959) curated by Peter Selz, who also organized solo exhibitions for each of them (Dubuffet in February 1962 and Giacometti in June 1965) at the museum. In the late 1950s, prior to Dubuffet’s commission to create his landmark (1969–72) for Chase Manhattan Plaza, Giacometti was initially chosen for the space. Unfamiliar with the city and unconvinced about how his figures would compete with the surrounding skyscrapers, he withdrew from the project. However, when he traveled to New York for his MoMA retrospective, shortly before his untimely death at the beginning of the following year, Giacometti made a special visit to the plaza and asked his wife Annette to stand where his sculptures would have been.
is made possible by generous loans from American and European institutions, including Fondation Beyeler, Riehen; Fondation Maeght, Saint-Paul-de-Vence; and Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation, New York, as well as from worldwide private collections. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue featuring new research by Nairne, as well as essays by Giacometti expert Casimiro Di Crescenzo and Dubuffet scholar Camille Houzé.

Came here on September 19, 2017.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the most important museums in the world. With the influence of American imperialism, it has collected cultural relics and artworks from various civilizations around the world through plunder. Most of these exhibits are representative cultural relics of various civilizations. I believe that every visitor will feel mixed emotions here.

The entire museum is classified according to different civilizations on different continents. Because everyone knows the origin of the collections, the exhibition is very simple and crude, that is, putting the things of a civilization in one place, without any good narrative, it is completely a &quot;trophy&quot; display.

There are many collections here. If you want to see them carefully, you need to spend one or two days. The museum is next to Central Park, and the two places can also be arranged to visit in one day, half a day in the park and half a day in the museum.

The representative of New York, USA, has two routes to take. We went up by ferry, and there is also a speedboat, but this is the most cost-effective. We went there at 2 pm, and there were not many people, so it was just right to come back. If you go in the morning, there are more tour groups and the queue will be very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York is full of creativity and modernity. The artworks in the museum span multiple fields, from Picasso to Andy Warhol, and each piece of work can inspire thinking. The exhibition is rich in content and the space is beautifully designed, which is very suitable for art lovers and cultural tourists.
