about the book
Painter, sculptor, poet Hans Arp co-founded the Dada movement at the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich in 1916. In ‘Oli Bimba,’ published to accompany a 2012 exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Zurich, renowned Dada scholar Juri Steiner—the exhibition’s curator and book’s editor—traces the early years of Arp’s artistic practice and community. With select installation views of diverse works by Arp positioned alongside those of his fellow artists, including objects made by his wife, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, and a plate section featuring color reproductions of the exhibited works, readers receive an overview of Hans Arp’s enigmatic practice.
