Foyer des Arts was signed by WEA after their 1981 local hit "Eine Königin mit Rädern untendran" ("A Queen with Wheels Below"). The album spawned two more singles, "Wissenswertes über Erlangen" ("Things Worth Knowing about Erlangen") and "Trends / Hubschraubereinsatz". The former was Foyer des Arts' only hit, reaching number 36 in the Media Control Charts.

Long out of print, the album was re-edited in 2003 with a slightly different track listing.
