| book description |

Discover renowned avant-gardist Hans/Jean Arpâ€™s works with and on paper in this expansive survey of the artistâ€™s drawings and collages. From his early years as part of Zurich Dada until the 1960s, Hans/Jean Arp produced an extraordinary and influential body of work. He is best known for two- and three-dimensional work deploying biomorphic forms that would come to epitomize organic abstraction. This new publication focuses on Arpâ€™s works on paper, as well as his paper collages, providing a comprehensive picture of their role in the artistâ€™s multifaceted output, including as a vehicle for play and as a way of inventing new worlds. Split across five chapters, some 200 illustrations offer a rich and representative selection of works that have mostly never been reproduced or exhibited publicly before. An intriguing new perspective on the artistâ€™s unique vocabulary of shapes and gestures emerges through the bookâ€™s thematic, non-chronological groupings, while illuminating texts by Arie Hartog and Loretta WÃ¼rtenberger unpack the formal language and artistic resonances of these works, both drawing out their connections to Arpâ€™s iconic sculptural practice and considering his prolific work with and on paper as a fascinating world in itself.
