A series of groundbreaking exhibitions, highlighting Giacometti's enduring influence on contemporary sculpture.

Three groundbreaking exhibitions will take place over a course of a year to spotlight Alberto Giacometti's enduring influence on contemporary sculpture. Launching on 8 May with an exhibition by Huma Bhabha, with Mona Hatoum following on 4 September, and Lynda Benglis in February 2026. Pre-existing and new works of art by the contemporary artists will be presented alongside Giacometti's sculptures for the first time to open up connections and dialogues across generations.
