In 1960 photographer and designer Herbert Matter made his first visit to Alberto Giacometti's Paris studio and began to create a body of photographs of the renowned artist's work and milieu that both men hoped to see published in book form. Giacometti was astounded by the photographs and told Matter that they enabled him to see his own work in a new light, that they illuminated aspects of his sculptures that he himself had never recognized. In a letter to the photographer, he described the photographs as "each one...a creation in itself, one more beautiful than another." Making these photographs occupied Matter for the next five years; the design of the book and preparations for its publication continued until his death in 1984.
