The catalog highlights Taeuber-Arp’s wide-ranging practice — from applied arts and dance to her role in Zurich Dada — showing how these influences shaped her distinct approach to abstraction. Throughout her career, she consistently challenged the traditional divisions between fine art, craft, and design, building a visual language that remains influential today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume brings together roughly 400 works spanning textiles, beadwork, marionettes, interior and architectural designs, paintings, reliefs, works on paper, and stained glass. Fifteen essays, organized in six sections that mirror the exhibition, chart both the chronology and major themes of her work. Additional features include a detailed illustrated timeline, a technical study of her materials and methods, and a research-based exhibition checklist — all contributing to the most comprehensive overview of Taeuber-Arp’s creative output to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSophie Taeuber-Arp (1889–1943) was a Swiss artist whose practice spanned textiles, sculpture, painting, dance, and design, making her one of the most important and interdisciplinary figures of early modernism. A central participant in the Zurich Dada movement, she developed a precise geometric language that bridged fine art and applied art, challenging traditional hierarchies in the process. Her work helped shape the foundations of Constructivism and Concrete Art, leaving a lasting impact on 20th-century abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdited by Anne Umland and Walburga Krupp with Charlotte Healy.
