Indicative of her pursuit to dissipate the conventional boundaries between the applied and fine arts that existed in pre-World War II Europe, the sculpture defies categorisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist referred to \u003cem\u003eDada Head\u003c\/em\u003e as a self-portrait. However, rather than communicating interest in a physical, naturalistic resemblance, it is a composite of elements of art and of the everyday that interested her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the Zurich Dada movement, Taeuber-Arp was a dancer, designer, puppeteer, sculptor, painter, and writer. \u003cem\u003eDada Head\u003c\/em\u003e existed—and still exists—as an investigation into participation across boundaries rather than within them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47598355054828,"sku":"9781633450684","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781633450684-sophie-taeuber-arp-dada-head.jpg?v=1777966014","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/sophie-taeuber-arp-dada-head-by-anne-umland-9781633450684","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
