Sophie Taeuber-Arp: Living Abstraction
Sophie Taeuber-Arp: Living Abstraction accompanies the first U.S. retrospective of her work in 40 years, offering a comprehensive survey of the artist's diverse and innovative body of work. Rooted in applied arts and dance, and deeply involved in the Zurich Dada movement, Taeuber-Arp developed a uniquely versatile abstract vocabulary, challenging the boundaries between fine art, craft, and design. The catalog, richly illustrated with 400 works, explores her interdisciplinary approach through textiles, beadwork, marionettes, architectural designs, stained glass, paintings, and sculptures. Fifteen essays, organized chronologically and thematically, delve into Taeuber-Arp's career, while an illustrated chronology and exhibition checklist provide insights into her expansive production.
