Hauser & Wirth featured this small but mighty Hans Arp bronze in their FIAC OVR presentation.
A master at creating biomorphic forms whose curved lines and simplicity are so pleasurable for our eyes to trace, Arp’s instantly recognisable amoeba-like shapes are equally satisfying in this smaller scale.
