Hans/Jean Arp (1886-1966) and Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889-1943) are two important artists of the 20th century avant-garde. As one of the most famous artistic couples, they met in Zurich in 1915 and never left each other again. As pioneers of abstract art, they created a unique oeuvre; both were highly gifted and explored many genres. They developed not only an emotional but also an artistic intimacy, as they closely followed the creation of their partner’s work and intensively discussed their aspirations. From drawing to architecture, from textiles to murals, every form gave rhythm to their lives and made geometric and organic abstraction accessible to dance, decor, architecture, sculpture and applied art.
