Rosemarie Trockel, born 1952 in Schwerte, Germany, lives and works in Cologne. Rosemarie Trockel has been known as an internationally significant conceptual artist since the 80s. Her works in various media - drawing, sculpture, installation, video and photography - address sociological issues with a feminist approach: Trockel takes stereotyped ideas about gender and renders them transparent and fragile. She works with subject matter that personally engages her, translating it into cool and realistic formal language and imagery. Whether working with knitting paintings or with hot plates, she demonstrates the cliché of the feminine by alluding to work traditionally associated with women.
