Comparison

I asked some people to look at Giacometti's sculptures in two different settings

As much as I admire Giacometti's sculptures, I think the Fondation Beyeler in Basel gives the most credit to his work. I had the chance to see his sculptures and paintings in various museums around the world and Basel is the only place where they exposed l"'homme qui marche I" in an environment mixing contemporary architecture and pure nature. 

                                                             Fondation Beyeler, Basel, Switzerland
 At lacma, his art is displayed in a line as if they were some quick preview of Giacometti's work . Artificial light being the only one around, his most important  works being displayed closer to the visitor, and others in the background. I personnaly find Alberto's work should be spread in spacious areas. allowing the visitors to see ans analyze them one by one, not all together.
