Giacometti is one of my favorite sculptors, and artists, of the ones I am familiar with. Yves Klein I am much less familiar with, but since half the book is about Giacometti, how could I go wrong? Art books, even when they include essays and analysis, are not meant to be read like a novel, but experienced. I will continue my experiences with this book for a while, surely.
