His highly distinctive entities, molded in plaster or cast in bronze, charge the spatial voids that surround them. Giacometti’s work presents an unprecedented visual discourse on the figure and its relation to space. In 2016, Lindbergh was invited to photograph bronzes and plasters by Giacometti held in the collection of the Kunsthaus Zürich-the largest and most important collection of Giacometti works in a museum-including 150 sculptures, as well as key paintings and drawings. Gagosian is pleased to present an exhibition of sculptures by Alberto Giacometti, together with photographs by Peter Lindbergh. You might discover something much larger than yourself.

Photography gives you the opportunity to use your sensibility and everything you are to say something about and be part of the world around you.

So it is important to fashion one’s work carefully in its smallest recess and charge every particle of matter with life. These intimate images represent a different kind of beauty, far away from society's obsession with youth and perfection one which is concerned with individuality, the courage to be yourself, and your very own sensibility.All the sculptures of today, like those of the past, will end one day in pieces. Handpicked from 37,000 unreleased photos from his groundbreaking 2017 Pirelli calendar shoot, Lindbergh offers an intimate insight into a pool of extraordinary talent: Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Charlotte Rampling, Dame Helen Mirren, Jessica Chastain, Kate Winslet, Lea Seydoux, Lupita Nyong'o, Penelope Cruz, Robin Wright, Rooney Mara, Uma Thurman, and Zhang Ziyi. The industry quickly became enamored with his almost anti-fashion photography, capturing the zeitgeist and the spirit of his subjects rather than pursuing today's search for perfection, which he considers inhuman. With such credits as shooting the first American Vogue cover under Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, bringing together for the first time a group of young women who would become the '90s supermodels, and numerous solo exhibitions at world-renowned institutions including the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, and the Gagosian in London, Peter Lindbergh is a master of his craft who has made his mark in the halls of photography history. I'm interested in what is powerful and real.' -Peter Lindbergh 'What is merely beautiful has always bored me.
