Rosemarie Trockel (1952) - Grün für Rot

Condition: Excellent. This 1990 colour silkscreen by Rosemarie Trockel (b. 1952), titled grün für rot ("green for red"), presents a monochromatic sweater set against geometric blocks of red and green, with the title text incorporated in stark typography. The work reflects Trockel’s ongoing exploration of themes such as gender, identity, and cultural symbolism, using clothing and colour as both medium and commentary. Rosemarie Trockel is a central figure in post-war and contemporary German art, with a practice that spans textiles, drawing, video, sculpture, and print. Her work engages with the conceptual and feminist strategies of artists like Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Cindy Sherman, Martha Rosler, Louise Bourgeois, and Hanne Darboven, and aligns with broader developments in European conceptualism and institutional critique. Her artistic context includes dialogues with Joseph Beuys, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Georg Baselitz, Anselm Kiefer, Isa Genzken, Martin Kippenberger, Albert Oehlen, Jörg Immendorff, Günther Förg, Imi Knoebel, Blinky Palermo, and Franz Erhard Walther. Connections can also be drawn to the minimalist and formalist approaches of Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Dan Flavin, and Lawrence Weiner. Through her consistent use of textile and printed media, Trockel’s work parallels developments in practices by Annette Messager, Sarah Lucas, Tracey Emin, and Andrea Fraser. Her works are held in major public collections including MoMA (New York), Tate Modern (London), Centre Pompidou (Paris), and Kunstsammlung NRW (Düsseldorf).
