London’s Barbican to Host Immersive Huma Bhabha and Alberto Giacometti Exhibition

The Barbican Art Gallery in London is currently showcasing Encounters: Giacometti x Huma Bhabha, running through August 10, 2025, a must-see for art enthusiasts. This innovative exhibition juxtaposes the works of contemporary sculptor Huma Bhabha with those of modernist icon Alberto Giacometti, exploring themes of materiality, memory, and human form across time. According to Frieze, Bhabha’s raw, textured sculptures, often evoking post-apocalyptic narratives, stand in dialogue with Giacometti’s elongated, existential figures, creating a striking conversation across generations. This show not only highlights Bhabha’s rising prominence but also reframes Giacometti’s legacy for modern audiences, making it a perfect blend of historical and contemporary art. Visitors can expect an immersive experience that challenges perceptions of sculpture and space.
