Rosemarie Trockel (b.1952, Germany) has long been admired for her highly independent and influential practice. Jane (Julia Peyton-Jones) is derived from an original portrait originally taken when the subject was between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two and relates to the subversion and lightness of touch with which Trockel often treats the ‘sitters’ of her portraits.

The subject of numerous solo shows, Trockel's works have been exhibited widely, including at New Museum, New York; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; Kunsthalle Zürich, Switzerland; Dia Center for the Arts, New York; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Centre Pompidou, Paris and Whitechapel Gallery, London. Trockel represented Germany at the 1999 Venice Biennale and participated in Documenta in 1997 and 2012.

Rosemarie Trockel

Rosemarie Trockel (b. 1952) is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential conceptual artists in Germany. Her sculptures, collages, ceramics, knitted works, drawings and photographs are noted for their subtle social critique and range of subversive, aesthetic strategies—including the reinterpretation of “feminine” techniques, the ironic shifting of cultural codes, a delight in paradox, and a refusal to conform to the commercial and institutional ideologies of the art system. The Potsdam-based artist has been associated with the gallery since 1982.
