A selection of the famous Ernst Scheidegger's photographs of Alberto Giacometti will be presented at the SI. The Zurich photographer Ernst Scheidegger, former member of Magnum Agency in Paris, and Alberto Giacometti met in 1943, beginning a friendship that was to last until Giacometti's death in 1966. A large number of unique photographic documents were produced in the course of this long friendship.

All photographs are credited to Ernst Scheidegger unless otherwise noted.
