1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Hans Arp offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Hans Arp at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Hans Arp? Wrong! If the Hans Arp is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Hans Arp then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

Jean Arp / Hans Arp (September 16, 1886 – June 7,
1966) was a German-French sculptor, painter, poet and abstract artist in other media such as torn and pasted paper.
Arp was born in
Strasbourg. The son of an Alsace mother and a non-Alsatian
Germany father, he was born during the brief period following the Franco-Prussian War when the area was known as
Alsace-Lorraine (Elsass-Lothringen in German) after it had been returned to Germany by
France. Following the return of Alsace to France at the end of World War I, French law determined that his name become
Jean.
In 1904, after leaving the
École des Arts et Métiers in Strasbourg, he went to
Paris where he published his poetry for the first time. From
1905 to 1907, Arp studied at the Kunstschule,
Weimar, Germany, Germany and in 1908 went back to Paris, where he attended the Académie Julian. In 1915, he moved to
Switzerland, to take advantage of Swiss neutrality. Arp later told the story of how, when he was notified to report to the German embassy, he avoided being
military drafted into the army: he took the paperwork he had been given and, in the first blank, wrote the date. He then wrote the date in every other space as well, then drew a line beneath them and carefully added them up. He then took off all his clothes and went to hand in his paperwork. He was told to go home.
Arp was a founding member of the
Dada movement in Zürich in 1916. In
1920, as Hans Arp, along with
Max Ernst, and the social activist
Johannes Theodor Baargeld, he set up the
Cologne Dada group. However, in
1925 his work also appeared in the first exhibition of the surrealist group at the
Galerie Pierre in Paris.
In
1926, Arp moved to the Paris suburb of
Meudon. In
1931, he broke with the Surrealism movement to found
Abstraction-Création, working with the Paris-based group Abstraction-Création and the periodical,
Transition.
Throughout the 1930s and until the end of his life, he wrote and published essays and poetry. In 1942, he fled from his home in
Meudon to escape German occupation and lived in
Zürich until the war ended.
Arp visited New York City in 1949 for a solo exhibition at the
Buchholz Gallery. In 1950, he was invited to execute a relief for the
Harvard University Graduate Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts would also be commissioned to do a mural at the
UNESCO building in
Paris. In 1954, Arp won the Grand Prize for Sculpture at the Venice Biennale.
In 1958, a retrospective of his work was held at the
Museum of Modern Art in New York City, followed by an exhibition at the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Paris, France, in 1962.
The
Musée d'art moderne et contemporain of Strasbourg houses many of his paintings and sculptures.
Arp's first wife, the artist Sophie Taeuber-Arp, died in
Zürich in 1943, and he subsequently married the collector Marguerite Hagenbach. Arp died in
1966, in
Basel, Switzerland.
(When Arp spoke in German he referred to himself as "Hans", and when he spoke in French he referred to himself as "Jean". Many people believe that he was born Hans and later changed his name to Jean, but this is not the case.)
