Alberto Giacometti: Drawings and Watercolours SWITZERLAND ZÜRICH  •  Kunsthaus Zürich  •  Ongoing   Kunsthaus Zürich is showing little-known works on paper by the Swiss painter and sculptor Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966). Alberto Giacometti’s extensive repertoire of works on paper is generally known, but the drawings and watercolours held by his brother Bruno (1907–2012), which were recently bequeathed to the Kunsthaus Zürich, are much less familiar. The approximately 70 pencil and pen drawings, some created using ball-point, coloured crayon and lithographic chalk, as well as six watercolours and a pastel, have rarely been exhibited.
