Join us at Hauser & Wirth St. Moritz to celebrate the opening of ‘Alberto Giacometti. Faces and Landscapes of Home’, curated by Tobia Bezzola. Our winter exhibition gathers paintings, sculptures and drawings that focus on Giacometti’s lifelong engagement with those closest to him—his parents, his brother Diego and wife Annette—as well as the landscapes that shaped his early background. These portraits and views of home reveal, like no other body of work, the intensity and psychological depth that define Giacometti’s approach to representation.

About Alberto Giacometti
Alberto Giacometti’s art was born between two worlds: the high mountain valley of his childhood and the restless metropolis of his adulthood. Stampa, his birthplace in the valley of Bregaglia, with its steep slopes and narrow horizons, offered him his first images of people, light, and landscape. The village and the neighboring Engadine valley shaped his gaze—intimate, austere, and unflinchingly direct. These early impressions would remain a hidden reservoir of inspiration throughout his career.
About Tobia Bezzola
Since 2018, Dr. Bezzola has served as Director of the Museo d’arte della Svizzera italiana( MASI) in Lugano, guiding the institution through a phase of major renewal. During his tenure, MASI has realized around fifty exhibitions and undertaken a comprehensive restructuring of its organizational and curatorial framework, consolidating its position as one of Switzerland’s leading art museums. Born and raised in Bern, he was familiar with Franz Gertsch and his work from childhood. A first collaboration took place in 2006 in the context of an exhibition on European Pop Art. Bezzola curated exhibitions of Gertsch’s work for and with the artist at the Kunsthaus Zürich (2011), the Museum Folkwang (2015), and MASI Lugano (2019). From 2013to 2023, he served as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Franz Gertsch Museum.
