Publisher's Synopsis
From "knitting pictures" to upside down palm trees and mannequin heads in glass boxes, Trockel's caustic oeuvre defies classification
German multimedia artist Rosemarie Trockel (born 1952) rose to fame in the 1980s with her "knitting pictures" made with industrial weaving machines. Both sardonic and uncanny, her constructions always include her own critical and humorous gaze at political structures and social regimes.
