Exhibitions at the Barbican: A Perfect Blend of Artists
A recent exhibition at the Barbican in London has brought together the works of Alberto Giacometti, Huma Bhabha, and Mona Hatoum, showcasing a perfect blend of artistic styles and periods.
The exhibition features Giacometti's sculpture Le Nez (1947) contained within Hatoum's steel Cube (2006), highlighting the affinities and distinctions between the artists' works.
A revelation of the year so far in London has been the new space for art at the Barbican.
The Barbican's new art space, a redesigned former restaurant, has hosted two of 2025's best shows, featuring Bhabha and Hatoum alongside Giacometti. The combination of these artists' works has been perfectly judged and paced, with Bhabha's and Hatoum's work engaging with Giacometti's in form or subject.
The exhibition demonstrates that, with the right choice of artists, comparisons between different artistic periods can be successful and thought-provoking.
Author's summary: Barbican's exhibition showcases Giacometti, Bhabha, and Hatoum's works in perfect harmony.
