The five Giacomettis, all of them born in Stampa, a small village in Switzerland, are presented in this book both in their relationships with each other and in their take on art history.
Peter Knapp is a unique and talented artist, best known for having revolutionized fashion photography in the 1960s and 1970s, he was the Artistic Director of Elle Magazine responsible for the image of André Courrèges. He co-authored two others books about Alberto Giacometti: La ressemblance impossible (elected Best Art book in 1996) and Maculages. Beat Stutzer was the Director and Head Curator of the Musée des Beaux-Arts des Grisons in Switzerland. The museum holds one of the most beautiful collection of the Giacometti family’s works.

On 2 March 1991, Serge Gainsbourg, the provocative poet of French music, died in his house at 5 bis rue de Verneuil in Paris. From this day onwards, nothing in the house was touched: the cigarette butts in the ash tray, the gold records on the mantlepiece, the photos, the singer’s astonishing collections (police badges, games, perfumes, etc.), everything is exactly where Serge had put it.
For the first time, Gainsbourg’s companions open the doors to this incredible world. Going from room to room, with exclusive photos from Tony Frank and legendary stories from Jean-Pierre Prioul from his 15 years of working for the singer, we discover a Gainsbourg who is more intimate and personal than ever.
After working as a stuntman from 1960 to 1970 and as a bodyguard for celebrities, Jean-Pierre Prioul met Serge Gainsbourg in 1980. After this meeting, they never again left each other’s sides until Serge’s death. As well as being charged with the house at 5 bis rue de Verbeuil, Jean-Pierre Prioul was Gainsbourg’s friend and a privileged witness to his life. He learned about all of the singer’s habits and shared his every fear and wish. He is the true memoire of this house.
