Bewegung und Gleichgewicht

Sophie Taeuber-Arp, one of the most innovative artists of the 20th century, developed her own personal style in painting, sculpture, textiles, architecture and interior design. Her clear, non-figurative works focus on the total harmony of form and colour, rhythm and balance and consistently reflect the spirit of Concrete Art. Taeuber-Arp, who showed her work in a great number of exhibitions, was a member of international art associations as well as a teacher of textile design. She also performed as a dancer, and is the only woman to be represented on a Swiss banknote: the 50-franc note. This catalogue presents the work of the artist in an exhibition for the first time in the town of her birth in the Kirchner Museum Davos and in the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck.
