A shared life across artistic disciplines

Meeting in Zurich in 1915, Hans (Jean) Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp developed distinct but closely connected practices in abstract art. Their work carried geometric and organic forms into fields ranging from dance and architecture to textiles, sculpture, and interior decoration. Drawing on new research and sources, this illustrated publication traces their partnership from its beginnings through works Arp made in remembrance of Taeuber-Arp after her sudden death. Its broad selection—collages, designs, drawings, paintings, photographs, jewellery, reliefs, textiles, and more—places applied and so-called free art side by side, giving the book a dual focus on artistic collaboration and the range of their individual media.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in abstract art and the work of Hans Arp or Sophie Taeuber-Arp
  • Art and design enthusiasts curious about connections between fine and applied arts
  • Readers seeking an illustrated account of an artistic and personal partnership

Book overview

As pioneers of abstract art Hans (Jean) Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp created a unique body of work. They met in Zurich in 1915 and never left each other's side, from drawing to construction, from textile to wall paintings. Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Hans (Jean) Arp gave rhythm to their lives, opening up geometric and organic abstraction to dance, decor, architecture, sculpture, and the applied arts.

Thanks to new research and sources, this publication follows in the couple's footsteps from their first encounter, to work made by Arp in remembrance of Taeuber-Arp following her sudden death.

The publication includes works of across a range of genres found in both artists' work, such as collage, design, drawing, and illustrated books, jewellery, painting, photography, reliefs, sculpture, and textiles--demonstrating the equal importance of applied and free art for both artists.
