Hans/Jean Arp & Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Friends, Lovers, Partners.
20 Sep 2024 — 19 Jan 2025 at Centre for Fine Arts
· Brussels
This temporary exhibition in Brussels brings together the work of Hans/Jean Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp, two of the most significant figures of the European avant-garde. United in life and in art, the couple forged a singular creative dialogue that spanned Dada, Constructivism, and abstraction.
The exhibition traces their relationship — as friends, lovers, and artistic partners — through paintings, sculptures, reliefs, textiles, and works on paper. It sheds light on the depth of their mutual influence and the ways in which their individual practices were shaped by their shared vision.
