About this exhibition

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, reliefs, and sculptures based on forms discovered by chance. 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 couple.
