Rosemarie Trockel (*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.

Medardo Rosso. Inventing Modern Sculpture
Group Exhibition
Kunstmuseum Basel
Through August 10, 2025
Sculptor, photographer, and master of artful staging, rival to Auguste Rodin and role model for countless artists: Medardo Rosso (1858–1928) revolutionized sculpture around 1900. This comprehensive retrospective, organized in cooperation with mumok, Vienna, showcases nearly fifty of his bronze, plaster, and wax sculptures and hundreds of his photographs and drawings to trace the artist’s radical formal, material, and technical explorations. Rosso’s sculptures are anti-monumental and fundamentally human-scaled, walking a tightrope between presence and dissolution. Inspired by Rosso’s own display strategies, the exhibition includes work by more than fifty artists from the last hundred years whose concerns and approaches resonate with Rosso’s.
