Sophie Taeuber: Arp and Jean Arp
Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889-1943) began her career as a textile designer, then pursued compositions of intricate geometric forms in the territory of paintings and interiors. Her husband Jean Arp (1886-1966) was both a poet and an artist who created collages and reliefs based on serendipitously discovered forms. This exhibition presents an outstanding artist couple of the first half of the twentieth century, introducing their individual works and drawing attention to their influences on each other and to works on which they collaborated, to reassess the creative potential of a partnership of spouses. From oversea collections including works from the Fondation Arp, Clamart in France and the Stiftung Arp e. V., Berlin/Rolandswerth in Germany, it comprises fourty-five works by Sophie Taeuber-Arp, thirty-six works by Jean Arp, and seven on which the couple collaborated: eighty-eight works in all.
