Die Hölle wird Wolle / L'enfer devient laine

Born 1952 in Schwerte (Germany), Rosemarie Trockel lives and works in Cologne. Her oeuvre, which has assumed an important and unique position at international level and encompasses drawings, two and three-dimensional picture and material collages, objects, installations, ‘knitting pictures,' ceramics, videos, furniture, pieces of clothing, and books, cannot be reduced to a single artistic genre or style; its common denominator is the intensity of its content, which incorporates an equally wide-ranging network of associations and discourses. All of this content is formulated from a precise, poetic and explicitly female perspective.
