Rosemarie Trockel

Museum Ludwig, Koln

Menopause

Rosemarie Trockel (*1952) is one of the most important artists of her generation. This solo exhibition at Museum Ludwig will for the first time provide a comprehensive survey of almost thirty years of the work of this artist who lives in Cologne. The exhibition will highlight the interweavings between her different areas of work, the complex relationships between her various themes and the way they are rendered artistically, without submitting her oeuvre to a chronological order. This ambitious scheme has been made possible by the close collaboration of the artist during the preparations for the exhibition which will extend on over 1000 m².

One major focus will be on the most famous of her work groups, the wool pictures, which she embarked on in the 1980s and which have constantly surprised by the novelty of their forms and contents. An especial high point of the exhibition is a new, monumental wool piece which Rosemarie Trockel has specially created to cover the large glass wall of the Museum foyer.

The second focus is on the group of works entitled “Moving Walls”, which she commenced in 2000. These sculptural works are integrated into a presentation specially devised by the artist to create a wealth of links between them and smaller sculptures, objects, multiples, architectural models and even designs for books and objects. Trockel’s jacket designs for (as yet) unwritten books will likewise be highlighted in all its significance for her overall production. They constitute an enormous reservoir of ideas and topics, only a fraction of which have been developed by the artist.
