Published in conjunction with the first retrospective of Taeuber-Arps work in over four decades, this book is a comprehensive survey of the innovative artists approach to abstraction, covering everything from her textiles, beadworks, marionettes and stained-glass pieces to her paintings, relief sculptures, works on paper and architectural, interior and furniture designs. Interspersed among this rich catalog, youll find a series of essays that explore the development of her wide-ranging body of work and the themes and ideas represented therein, as well as the ingenious ways she employed certain materials and techniques throughout her creative career. A fascinating look at the life and practice of a highly influential yet often overlooked art world icon, Sophie Taeuber-Arp: Living Abstraction is definitely worthy of a spot in any art-lovers coffee table book collection. edited by Anne Umland, Walburga Krupp and Charlotte Healy various contributors clothbound hardcover 352 pages Dimensions: 9.25"W x 1.5"D x 10.75"H.
