Hans Arp’s second wife Marguerite Arp-Hagenbach contributed a large part of the estate of Hans Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp to the Stiftung Arp e.V.‘s collection. The Foundation therefore possesses a considerable part of the artistic estate of both artists and an archive of historic documents. The collection is supplemented by a library.
