About the artist
Since the 1980s, Rosemarie Trockel (born in 1952 in Schwerte) has created pieces in which she takes up a critical position that counters artistic work that is characterized by male dominated thought and action. With a conceptual approach and using different media, she investigates the elements that constitute society, such as norms, role models, symbols, and cultural codes, and questions them with regard to their function and self-evidence. Her works combine artistic issues with philosophical, theological, and scientific discourse.
