“Kanskje årets viktigste utstilling.”
- Lars Elton, Dagsavisten
“Det er nok den vakreste utstillingen du kan se nå.”
- Line Ulekleiv, Kunstavisen
Hans/Jean Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp were two pioneers of 20th-century abstract art. Friends, Lovers, Partners is the largest retrospective exhibition dedicated to the artist couple in 35 years.
