Sophie Taeuber-Arp (1889 – 1943) was a Swiss artist, painter, sculptor, and dancer.

She is considered one of the most important artists of geometric abstraction of the 20th century.

In 1915, at an exhibition at the Tanner Gallery, she met the Dada artist Jean Arp, with whom she was to collaborate on numerous joint projects until her death in 1943. They married in 1922 and she changed her last name to Taeuber-Arp.
