• Fascinating depiction in terms of color and composition.
• In 1916, Hans Arp co-founded the revolutionary Dada movement in Zurich.
• Arp's reliefs were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York as early as 1936, followed by a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in 1958 and a retrospective at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York in 1969, three years after his death.
• Drawings by Hans Arp can be found in important museum collections such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris.
