The artist's career and the world of Isabelle Waldberg     

Isabelle (née) Marghareta Waldberg is a French sculptor born in Switzerland in 1911.

She became interested in the techniques of metal forging and welding thanks to her uncle's forge, where she observed and learned, and studied at the Sorbonne, where she defended a thesis on Nietzsche, after having studied ethnology and sociology. In Paris, she met Alberto Giacometti and Patrick Waldberg, who urged her to change her first name to that of his first wife, which is why her artist's name will remain Isabelle Waldberg.

They both joined the Acéphale secret society. She produced her first works in France, but soon moved to New York, where she became close to the Surrealist group, which influenced her work even though it was not categorized as such.

From 1943 onwards, the artist produced his successful metal constructions.

In 1946, she returned to Paris, where she worked in Marcel Duchamp's studio and presented her work at several exhibitions.

In 1975, she was appointed professor at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
