Friends, Lovers, Partners

Bozar dedicates a major exhibition to one of the most important artist couples: Hans/​Jean Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp, two central figures of 20th-century abstract art. Throughout their careers, both artists challenged the hierarchies between the applied and fine arts. The diversity of their work – which includes painting, sculpture, textiles, design and literature – keeps them relevant to this day. Not only are their individual artistic creations remarkable, but also the works they realised together, from their first meeting in 1915 until Taeuber-Arp’s early death in 1943. This exhibition is a unique opportunity to discover Sophie Taeuber-Arp’s colourful and geometric abstract work alongside Hans/​Jean Arp’s biomorphic forms, collages and sculptures.
