As an artist, networker, and co-founder of the legendary Galerie Gerd Rosen, Heinz Trökes (1913–1997) created a space in Berlin in 1945 where the avant-garde reemerged and a new intellectual awakening began. His voice was as indispensable in postwar debates as his paintings, which reflect a hunger for freedom and openness to the world.
At the center of his life and work was the exploration of the world. For Trökes, travel was not merely a change of location, but a driving force for renewal. Impressions, landscapes, encounters—all of this was transformed in his work into vividly colored, poetic visual worlds that form the centerpiece of the exhibition.
The Alexander and Renata Camaro Foundation’s dedication to Trökes also stems from an early encounter that connects the two artists. In 1946, Trökes met Alexander Camaro (1901–1992) near Quedlinburg, recognized the affinity of their artistic approaches, and helped him secure his first solo exhibition at the Gerd Rosen Gallery that very same year. This marked the beginning of a lifelong bond.
The exhibition invites visitors to rediscover Trökes as a traveler, a source of inspiration, and a visionary artist—and to see the world through his eyes: open, curious, and full of movement.
