Alberto Giacometti: Big retrospective in the Bremer Kunsthalle!

There will soon be an exciting show at the Kunsthalle Bremen that will not only attract art lovers. The exhibition "Alberto Giacometti. The Measure of the World" celebrates its opening on October 11, 2025, and visitors can learn more about the work of one of the most important artists of the 20th century until February 15, 2026. This retrospective is the first comprehensive Giacometti exhibition in Germany in over ten years, and it was put together in close cooperation with the Fondation Giacometti in Paris. Spot Bremen reports that the exhibition includes around 100 works, including sculptures, paintings, watercolors and drawings. This diversity offers a deep insight into Giacometti's artistic career, from his surrealist works to the expressive figures of the post-war period.

But what makes this exhibition so special? A central focus is on Giacometti's engagement with landscape as a formative element. The artist, who lived between 1901 and 1966, saw landscapes not just as backdrops, but as counterparts that entered into a dialogue with his characters. The influences of the Swiss Alps and German Romanticism are clearly noticeable in his works and are now shown in this context for the first time. The Bremen Art Gallery provides further information about the art forms on display and the supporting program, which includes lectures, art discussions and creative workshops aimed at visitors of all ages.

A diverse supporting program

In addition to the exhibition itself, an extensive supporting program is being prepared. The Kunsthalle Bremen relies on a lively art education program. There are special Sunday matinées with lectures covering topics such as Giacometti's relationship to Romanticism and his influence on modern art. For the music lovers among the visitors, there will also be Tuesday soirées with discussions and musical performances. This offer is not only intended to provide information, but also to encourage active engagement with art. Museum TV highlights that these events could be a highlight in the region's cultural calendar.

The curators of the exhibition, Eva Fischer-Hausdorf from the Kunsthalle Bremen and Hugo Daniel from the Fondation Giacometti, have set themselves the goal of impressively presenting Giacometti's development and the interaction between man and nature. The combination of well-known and rare works from the Fondation's archive will give the audience new perspectives on Giacometti's diverse work and provide deeper insights into his creative processes.

The Kunsthalle Bremen itself is considered an important location for international art shows. With over 200,000 drawings and prints in the copper engraving cabinet and a focus on European paintings and sculptures from the last two centuries, it offers an exciting range of art for both connoisseurs and newcomers. This fall and winter program is already predicting great appeal for art enthusiasts from the region and beyond.

A visit to the exhibition "Alberto Giacometti. The Measure of the World" promises an enriching experience, which also includes an exhibition catalog in German and English that contains images and texts about the works of art. The bottom line is that it is a good time to explore Giacometti's fascinating world at the Kunsthalle Bremen and spend a stimulating cultural afternoon.
