Alberto Giacometti

  • The Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art has moved two bronze statues by Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti into its main building. Acid rain had caused damage to Walking Man 1 and Standing Woman 1, which were located in the courtyard of the museum. The ceremony to transfer the statues to inside the museum was attended by TMCA Curator Ali Mohammad Zare’, Swiss Ambassador in Tehran Markus Leitner as well as experts from the Alberto Giacometti Foundation in Zurich.
