Small and Mighty
As Alberto Giacometti's Guggenheim-swallowing retrospective
comes down this September, Luxembourg & Dayan shines the
spotlight on the Swiss artist's miniature sculptures made between
1935 and 1945. Created against the backdrop of World War II, these
petite figures demonstrate Giacometti's desire to move towards the
human and fragile rather than dealing in the politics of the
monumental. LUXEMBOURGDAYAN.COM

Artist Walton Ford is always
on the hunt for new stories
to unpack. This fall, he
hones in on the Barbary
lion—a subspecies that has
been immortalized
throughout art history, from
Roman architecture to the
MGM Studios logo. Opening
October 10 at Paul Kasmin's
new Chelsea flagship,
"Barbary" celebrates the
king of the jungle and its
entanglement with our
collective images of power.
