The Institut Giacometti presents a new exhibition dedicated to the intellectual and artistic friendship between Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre and Alberto Giacometti.

Entitled ‘Beauvoir, Sartre, Giacometti. Vertiginousness of the absolute’, it explores the powerful links that united these three major figures of the twentieth century. Taking a philosophical, literary and artistic approach, the exhibition explores the quest for the absolute in art, thought and life.

Combining philosophy, literature and sculpture, the exhibition is structured around major works such as L'Objet invisible (1934), La Main (1947) and L'Homme qui chavire (1950), as well as previously unpublished archives and an evocation of Simone de Beauvoir's bedroom, her living and writing space, located just a stone's throw from the Institut Giacometti.
A series of photographs by contemporary artist Agnès Geoffray gives substance to the vertigo.

Legendary couple Niki de Saint Phalle (1930–2002) and Jean Tinguely (1925–1991) were bound by an unbreakable artistic connection and a shared vision of creation as an act of rebellion against established norms.

The exhibition traces the prolific itinerary of these two artists through the figure of Pontus Hulten (1924 - 2006), the first director of the Musée national d'art moderne at the Centre Pompidou, who shares their conception of a disruptive, multidisciplinary and participatory art. Throughout his career, he provided unconditional support to Saint Phalle and Tinguely: acquisitions of works, dedicated retrospectives, cartes blanches and support for out-of-the-ordinary projects such as the gigantic Nana in the Hon - en Katedral exhibition (1966) at Stockholm's Moderna Museet, or the Le Crocrodrome de Zig & Puce exhibition (1977) in the Centre Pompidou's Forum.
