"Sophie" Wool Blankets by
“Sophie” is inspired by the stunning painting by Sophie Taeuber-Arp’s (1889 – 1943) "Douze Espaces à plans, bandes angulaires et pavés de cercles" (1939) Kunsthaus Collection.
Reconciling extremes with confidence—Dada and Geometric Abstraction, fine art and utilitarian objects—Taeuber-Arp’s works boldly engaged with the intellectual context of international modernism.
Sophie Taeuber-Arp is one of the most important artists of the twentieth-century avant-garde and is considered a pioneer of Constructivist art.
The new collaboration between Kunsthaus Zurich and ZigZagZurich is a tribute to the influence Kunsthaus Zürich has had on the art scene in Switzerland and around the world. From its humble beginnings in 1787, when a group of artists and art lovers met for friendly discussions and mutual encouragement, Kunsthaus Zürich has gained international recognition since the early 20th century thanks to a combination of permanent exhibitions and a significant art collection. These stunning wool blankets are inspired by three renowned paintings by Wassily Kandinsky, Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Alexej von Jawlensky found in the Kunsthaus collection and the Gabriele and Werner Merzbacher collection.
The limited edition blankets will be displayed and available for purchase at the Kunsthaus Zürich Museum and the ZigZagZurich Showroom.
