Hauser & Wirth presents it’s first exhibition devoted to one of the most important artists of the 20th-century avant-garde— Sophie Taeuber-Arp.

Going online from June 11th, the exhibition presents the artist’s radical multidisciplinary approach to art in 30 works, presented alongside photographs and material from the Arp Foundation. Taeuber-Arp, who started to created colored pen drawings in 1915, later weaved into her artistic practice sculpture, textile works, design and architectural interiors, as well as dance and performance. As pioneer of abstract art Wassily Kandinsky said, «Sophie Taeuber-Arp expressed herself by means of the 'coloured relief', especially in the last years of her life, using almost exclusively the simplest forms, geometric forms». Taeuber-Arp’s artistic practice is a quest to break down static, artificial boundaries between genres and forms, exploring what’s beyond the traditional concept of art. Enjoy the exhibition online at Hauser & Wirth, and don’t forget, that 10% of profits from sals of all works in the online exhibitions are going to the the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
