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.

In the interwar period, the home of art-lovers and collectors Annie and Oskar Müller-Widmann in Basel was a meeting place for some of the most significant protagonists of modernism, including artists Hans Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp. The Müller-Widmanns soon became close friends of the couple and the first and foremost collectors of their works for many years.This volume is the first to publish in English the letters and postcards that Sophie Taeuber-Arp wrote to the Müller-Widmanns between 1932 and 1943. Her correspondence revolves around her artistic work, exhibitions, and other projects, but also speaks of the private circumstances of the life of an artist in the period leading up to World War II. Preserved in its entirety, the collection is a core testimony to Taeuber-Arp’s life and work. Walburga Krupp, a leading expert on the artist and co-curator of the major retrospective Sophie Taeuber-Arp: Living Abstraction at Kunstmuseum Basel, London’s Tate Modern, and the MoMA in New York in 2021–22, has annotated the transcribed and translated letters with insightful commentary and picks up on significant topics of this correspondence in an introductory essay. The book is illustrated with facsimile images of numerous postcards and letters as well as with works by Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Hans Arp.

Swiss artist Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889-1943) was a pioneer of 20th-century avant-garde. Remarkably versatile and immensely gifted, she produced an oeuvre that encompasses the entire range of the modernist movement from applied and fine art anddance to architecture, interior design, and teaching.Equlibre,created in 1931, marks the beginning of Taeuber-Arp's career as an accomplished painter. She moves away from figuration to focus on shape and colour. Circle, square, and rectangle define her future vocabulary. While in her earlier textiles she used multiple shades and hues, she nowreduces her palette to primary colours alongside black and white, signalling a markedly changed sense of colour.The painting's posthumous title emphasises Taeuber-Arp's constant striving for an idealbalance of colour, shape, and indeed all the elements in her paintings.From here, she sets out to explore movement, circles, and spaces, and later gradations and lines. Equilibre, a landmark of Taeuber-Arp's oeuvre, looks ahead to her future subject matter, while at the same time referencing her earlier work.Text in English and German.
