The chariot
This female figure standing on a chariot is a major work by Alberto Giacometti, probably the most important sculptor of the 20th century. The chariot forms the base for the frontal female figure. The woman's archetypical appearance is elevated to almost divine status by the chariot, which resembles an ancient war wagon. From a distance, Giacometti's sculptures take on a vivacity that is difficult to fathom. The more the observer attempts to gaze closely at the work, the more difficult it becomes to define this vivacity.
