A special programme open to the public will offer unique insights into the lives and work of significant international contemporary and modern artists, including a selection connected to Hauser & Wirth’s programme. Featured artists and well-known personalities from the art world include Alberto Giacometti, Eduardo Chillida, Max Bill, Hans Josephsohn, Jenny Holzer, Pablo Picasso, Arshile Gorky and Piero Manzoni.

Screenings will take place throughout January and February 2019 at the Ciné-Theater in Gstaad. The programme begins on 4 January 2019 with a screening of Final Portrait (2017). The film follows Alberto Giacometti and the American writer James Lord’s off-beat friendship, after Lord sits for a portrait by the artist in 1964. Directed by Stanley Tucci, it is an insight into the beauty, frustration, profundity and chaos of the artistic mind.
