CLEVELAND — For the first time in nearly 50 years, an exhibit dedicated to the work of famous Swiss sculptor and artist Alberto Giacometti is coming to the Cleveland Museum of Art.

"Alberto Giacometti: Toward the Ultimate Figure" will feature works from the life of Giacometti, who died in 1966 but saw major artistic achievements from 1945 until his death.

The exhibit will feature 60 of Giacometti's works, ranging from sculptures, painting and drawings, focusing on the central aspect of his inspiration: the human figure.

Giacometti's unique style of creating human figures can be seen in his works such as "The Nose" and "Walking Man I."
