The conceptual artist Caro Jost is known for her innovative way of searching for traces and transferring them into autonomous artworks with both autobiographical and social relevance. From the very beginning, collecting, compiling and archiving played an important role in her work as an artist. Each of her works represents a document of time and bears a story of its own. Caro Jost received wide recognition for her “Streetprints” on canvas, for which she has been taking imprints of street surfaces in various places around the world for over 20 years. A further art project that includes the making of a documentary called “Final Traces of the Abstract Expressionists” is about former studios of legendary Abstract Expressionists in NYC. Jost’s works are represented at the Jumex Collection (Mexico City), Mark Rothko Art Center (Daugavpils), Colby Museum of Art (Maine), Lenbachhaus and Stadtmuseum (Munich), ZERO Foundation (Düsseldorf), Vass Collection (Budapest), Chelsea Art Museum (New York), Wemhöner Collection (Herford), Peggy Guggenheim Collection Archive (Venice), Barnett Newman Foundation (New York), Smithsonian Institution – Archives of American Art and MoMA Library Collection (New York), et al. Caro works between New York, Berlin and Munich.
