ROSEMARIE TROCKEL IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FIGURES ON THE GERMAN ART SCENE. CLASSIFIABLE NEITHER IN TERMS OF STYLE NOR OF GENRE, SHE CONTINUALLY PRODUCES NEW AND SURPRISING SERIES OF WORKS IN EVER CHANGING MATERIALS AND MEDIUMS. TROCKEL BELONGS TO NO SCHOOL, NO GROUP; CLEAR INFLUENCES ON HER WORK ARE DIFFICULT TO DETECT, APART, PERHAPS, FROM CERTAIN ASPECTS OF POP ART. THERE ARE ALSO HINTS OF A SERIOUS INVOLVEMENT WITH THE WORK OF JOSEPH BEUYS, OR OF A FASCINATION BY THE IRONY AND PLAYFULNESS OF SIGMAR POLKE.
