Giacometti

The stage has the stark beauty of a sculpted scene by Alberto Giacometti.

His Swiss compatriot, Alberto Giacometti, drew multiple portraits of Mr. Kornfeld and pleaded with him to write a comprehensive monograph about him.

Then he shared his screen to reveal a collection of texts and images — Van Gogh still lifes, Giacometti sculptures, Japanese haikus — saved in folders on his computer.

Hunt was drawn to abstractions and was influenced by the works of Julio González, Pablo Picasso, David Smith and Alberto Giacometti, as well as his own extensive African art collection.

Many are by Swiss artists, including the Giacomettis, father and son.
