In Frankfurt, Germany, stands a gothic angel with large wings, holding a scroll. The sculpture is a dark gray, with bright green water damage that exposes its metallic foundation. It looks like a classic religious sculpture, so it is easy to think nothing of it. But that would be a mistake. Instead, you should get closer, look right at it. There’s something very unusual about this angel. This quietly shocking statue was created by artist Rosemarie Trockel and erected in 1994 to remind people of the murder and persecution of homosexuals under National Socialism.
