Sophie Taeuber-Arp, the long-neglected pioneer of modernism, died on this day from carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty stove 75 years ago.
In this 2014 article, swissinfo.ch reported on how the artist – who had been somewhat overshadowed during her lifetime by her husband Jean Arp, the Dada co-founder – had become the subject of a major retrospective in Switzerland.
