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.

Inaugural Exhibition, Season One
Group Exhibition
Start Museum, Shanghai
Through May 21, 2023
This exhibition is the first chapter of four that will inaugurate the new Start Museum in Shanghai over the course of 20 months. The exhibition involves 88 works by 85 artists—including Bernd & Hilla Becher, Rosemarie Trockel, and Kaari Upson—among which the eldest was born in 1921 and the youngest in 1988. Each season will have different undertones and perspectives, and together will feature over 300 works by over 300 contemporary artists from all over the world. Season One is not only a grand gathering of contemporary classics, but also proposes a series of niche insights and important questions about art made in China and art made internationally, and the connections between the two perspectives.
