Exposition · Jean (Hans) Arp — 1998 · Galerie Lucie Weill & Seligmann, Paris.
galerielws.com →De janvier à avril 1998, la Galerie Lucie Weill & Seligmann consacre une exposition à Jean Arp (Hans Arp), figure majeure des avant-gardes et cofondateur du mouvement Dada. Dans le prolongement des liens historiques entre la galerie et l’artiste, plusieurs tapis de haute laine réalisés d’après ses cartons -souvent édités par Marie Cuttoli- occupent une place centrale, soulignant les circulations entre sculpture, dessin et arts textiles. Par ce retour à une figure fondatrice de l’art moderne, la galerie réaffirme son ancrage dans le champ des avant-gardes historiques, après une programmation tournée vers la création contemporaine au milieu des années 1990. Cette exposition s’impose ainsi comme un moment clé, consolidant son rôle de référence pour l’œuvre de Arp à Paris.
