These knitted pictures, then, differ from conventional iconography. If I knit in a garment or sweater the hammer and sickle, for instance, there is a depreciation of the ideology bound up in identifying the logos for product propaganda and ideological propaganda. We must understand fashion not only as an adornment of the body, but as an acting for the body of society. (…) In my work, the wave-designs of Op-art (Bridget Riley certainly has had a great influence on Op-art fashion) do not only have this art-historical connection. The serial patterns, just as the social conditions in which they originated, are of interest here, rather than the formalism of the right angle.“ Rosemarie Trockel im Interview mit Jutta Koether, in: Flash Art, Nr. 134, Mai 1987 Rosemarie Trockel (Schwerte 1952 – lives in Cologne and Berlin) Untitled. 1989 Wool, knit, on canvas. 220 × 160 cm ( 86 ⅝ × 63 in.).
