After a year of planning and preparation, summer 2020 marks the launch of the Sophie Taeuber-Arp Research Project (STARP). The comprehensive website sophietaeuberarp.org on the life and complete works of the artist Sophie Taeuber-Arp is taking shape. The research project relies on the archive of the Stiftung Arp e. V. and drawing on expertise from the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus.
\nThe centrepiece of the project is the digital catalogue of the artist’s complete works. This amounts to the first comprehensive, academically substantiated documentation of Taeuber-Arp\u2019s important oeuvre.<\/p>\n
The Sophie Taeuber-Arp Research Project (STARP) is a joint project between the Stiftung Arp e. V. (Remagen\/Berlin) and the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus (Bremen).<\/p>\n
Since 1977 the\u00a0Stiftung Arp e. V.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>has overseen a large part of the artistic estate of the Franco-German sculptor and poet Hans Arp (1886\u20131966) and of his first wife, the Swiss artist Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889\u20131943).
\nThe principal aim of the Stiftung Arp e. V. is to make the work of Arp and Taeuber-Arp accessible to a wide international audience. Supporting academic research, exhibitions and publications are vital tools in this effort. Academic discourse in the course of fellowships and conferences forms the centre of the foundation’s work.
\nIn 2021 the Stiftung Arp e. V. contributed numerous works on loan to the major retrospective \u201cSophie Taeuber-Arp: Living Abstraction<\/a>\u201d. This exhibition was organised jointly by the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Tate Modern (London) and the Kunstmuseum Basel. Also in 2021, a conference on Sophie Taeuber-Arp took place.<\/p>\n
