And do not breathe in, and do not breathe out, and do not move from the spot from the series ‘Book Drafts’ by Rosemarie Trockel, 1982/86 (www.moma.org/collection/works/196334) Inside pages and content by Jennifer Schmitt, 2023 ‘Since the 1970s, at moments of creative impasse, Rosemarie Trockel has produced some 200 drawings and collages known collectively as Book Drafts, a series that began as a fruitful way to overcome procrastination. The works usually take the form of a book cover decorated with a title graphic and often accompanied by a drawing, collage, or found photograph or photocopy. The artistic richness of the drafts paradoxically rests precisely in their generic formal characteristics rather than their individuality. Since the designs aren’t intended for publication (indeed, the books do not exist (1)), they should not be understood as studies for future works but rather as proposals that were never intended to be fulfilled (2).’—Publication excerpt from MoMA Highlights: 375 Works from The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2019.
