These days people have been talking a lot about lying on the couch in relation to Freud's 150 years anniversary. Somebody clever even wrote a book with this double entendre title. However, we can't see the merits of lying on the couch compared to being candid in an armchair, like Giacometti is. He has absolutely no hidden agendas, no secrets nor lies. He's spending most days curled up in the armchair (his armchair?) emitting discrete purrs of deep satisfaction. If you happen to pass by at Hermesvej 21 you can see him in action, live.
The rest of us must content ourselves with corroborated reports. By the way,
we sorely need fresh contributions to this site, otherwise, we gang dry.
