Jean Arp (1886-1966)

After his famous dreamlike reliefs, Jean Arp, the father of Dadaism, returned to three-dimensional statues, but on his own terms, as this sensuously curved torso shows.

Hauser & Wirth announces that it now represents the estate of Sophie Taeuber-Arp. The gallery will devote an online exhibition to the Swiss artist starting June 11, before a major museum retrospective that pays tribute to Jean Arp's first wife in 2021, which will travel to the Tate Modern and the MoMA.

The historic salon dedicated to abstraction, founded in 1946 by a group of artists including Sonia Delaunay and Jean Arp, brings together 130 creators from October 20 to 23, at the Espace Commines and the Réfectoire des Cordeliers in Paris. The fair spotlights four emerging artists.

The Italian art historian passed away at the age of 97 on June 23 in Milan. He had opened a gallery in the 1940s where his friends Jean Arp, Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp exhibited, and he published the catalogue raisonné in 1969. He bequeathed part of his art collection to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem in 1998.

In cherry red, Jean Royère's iconic "Ours polaire" (Polar Bear) is even softer and more cozy, making you want to curl up on it.

Painted when the artist was not yet famous, this seaside subject puts people at the center of the composition.

This Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) painting found in an antique dealer’s collection recalls that, despite his academic reputation, he was a bold artist with no peer when it came to creating powerful images.

This model illustrating the fluid, organic forms of Jean Royère is one of the French designer's iconic pieces, along with the Ours polaire (Polar Bear).

Sculptures by the protean artist who created Hourloupe and Coucou Bazar have reappeared, recalling his controversial unfinished work Salon d’été (Summer Salon).

The reappearance of a previously unknown work by Jean-Honoré Fragonard is in many ways the answer to an enigma, one that we can only guess at but never fully grasp.
