Her art, as the subtitle Living Abstraction implies, began as performance yet is refreshingly ego-free., Her nimble, irrepressible creativity is a reminder that art making, especially in times of strife, is an inherently optimistic act., A hub of the avant-garde scene in the 1920s and '30s, deeply involved in the Dada movement and later geometric abstraction., Taeuber-Arp's production thrived on myriad tensions: between abstraction and figuration, applied and fine arts, a constructivist rigor and gestural fluidity., A hub of the avant-garde scene in the 1920s and 30s, deeply involved in the Dada movement and later geometric abstraction., Presents an overview of Taeuber-Arp's output and her various sources of inspiration and vividly renders the apparently playful ease with which the artist dismantled longstanding barriers between art and life..., By showcasing all the many media that Taeuber-Arp touched, this exhibit recasts long-held assumptions about a hierarchy in which painting and sculpture reign supreme., Taeuber-Arp's dazzling artistic range...encompassed beaded bags, necklaces, cushion covers, rugs and stained glass, all in abstract, geometric designs.

[...] blur[ing] the boundaries between fine art and applied art., Taeuber-Arp s production thrived on myriad tensions: between abstraction and figuration, applied and fine arts, a constructivist rigor and gestural fluidity., A boon to get finally a sense of the full scope of her artistry. It is as if a time capsule has been opened., Her egalitarian view of art and craft proved that abstractions in woven wool can trounce the oil on canvas kind., Emphatically frame[s] her art and design work as deeply intertwined, countering a tendency dating back to the posthumous catalogue raisonné of her work Arp compiled in 1948 to downplay her applied art efforts as something like a side hustle., Emphatically frame[s] her art and design work as deeply intertwined, countering a tendency--dating back to the posthumous catalogue raisonné of her work Arp compiled in 1948--to downplay her applied art efforts as something like a side hustle., Presents an overview of Taeuber-Arp s output and her various sources of inspiration and vividly renders the apparently playful ease with which the artist dismantled longstanding barriers between art and life..., Taeuber-Arp s dazzling artistic range...encompassed beaded bags, necklaces, cushion covers, rugs and stained glass, all in abstract, geometric designs.

Synopsis
A definitive survey on the Dada participant and pioneer of abstraction between art and craft, spanning her textiles, marionettes, stained glass, paintings and more A New York Times critics' pick Best Art Books 2021 Accompanying the first retrospective of Taeuber-Arp's work in the United States in 40 years, Sophie Taeuber-Arp: Living Abstraction is a comprehensive survey of this multifaceted abstract artist's innovative and wide-ranging body of work. Her background in the applied arts and dance, her involvement in the Zurich Dada movement and her projects for architectural spaces were essential to her development of a uniquely versatile and vibrant abstract vocabulary. Through her artistic output and various professional alliances, Taeuber-Arp consistently challenged the historically constructed boundaries separating fine art from craft and design. This richly illustrated catalog explores the artist's interdisciplinary and cross-pollinating approach to abstraction through some 400 works, including textiles, beadwork, polychrome marionettes, architectural and interior designs, stained glass windows, works on paper, paintings and relief sculptures. It also features 15 essays that examine the full sweep of Taeuber-Arp's career. Arranged into six chapters that follow the exhibition's sections, these essays trace the progression of Taeuber-Arp's creative production both chronologically and thematically. A comprehensive illustrated chronology, the first essay on Taeuber-Arp's materials and techniques, and an exhibition checklist based on new research and analysis detail the expansive nature of Taeuber-Arp's production. Sophie Taeuber-Arp was born in 1889 in Davos, Switzerland, and trained at the interdisciplinary Debschitz School in Munich. In 1914, she began a successful applied arts practice in Zurich, where she also taught textile design and participated in the Dada movement. Starting in the late 1920s, Taeuber-Arp completed several architectural and interior design projects, most significantly the Aubette entertainment complex in Strasbourg. When she moved to Paris in 1929, she turned her attention to abstract paintings and painted wood reliefs. During the Nazi occupation, Taeuber-Arp spent her final years in the South of France, and died of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in 1943., A definitive survey on the Dada participant and pioneer of abstraction between art and craft, spanning her textiles, marionettes, stained glass, paintings and more A New York Times critics' pick Best Art Books 2021 Accompanying the first retrospective of Taeuber-Arp s work in the United States in 40 years, Sophie Taeuber-Arp: Living Abstraction is a comprehensive survey of this multifaceted abstract artist s innovative and wide-ranging body of work.

During the Nazi occupation, Taeuber-Arp spent her final years in the South of France, and died of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning in 1943., Over the course of her almost three-decade-long career, Sophie Taeuber-Arp worked as a designer of textiles, beadwork, costumes, furniture, and interiors, as well as an applied arts professor, dancer, puppet maker, architect, painter, sculptor, illustrator, and magazine editor. Through her exceptionally diverse artistic output and various professional alliances, Taeuber-Arp consistently challenged the historically constructed boundaries separating art, craft, and design. Published in conjunction with the first retrospective of Taeuber-Arp's work in the United States in nearly forty years, and the first-ever retrospective in the United Kingdom, Sophie Taeuber-Arp: Living Abstraction is the most comprehensive survey of this multifaceted abstract artist's innovative and wide-ranging body of work. The catalogue explores the artist's interdisciplinary and cross-pollinating approach to abstraction through some 400 works, including textiles, beadwork, polychrome marionettes, architectural and interior designs, stained glass windows, works on paper, paintings, and relief sculptures. Essays by curators and scholars examine the full sweep of Taeuber-Arp's career, outlining the scope of her creative production at different points in time. A comprehensive illustrated chronology, the first essay published on Taeuber-Arp's materials and techniques, and a scholarly exhibition checklist based on new research and analysis detail the expansive nature of Taeuber-Arp's production.
