The series also included Gerhard Schröder, who became chancellor of Germany in 1998 and was succeeded by Merkel in 2005, and Joschka Fischer, of the Green Party who served as foreign minister and deputy chancellor under Schröder.Īt the beginning of the project, Merkel had just been appointed Minister for Women and Youth by Chancellor Helmut Kohl. Koelbl started her series of portraits of Merkel for a project called "Traces of Power," in which she met every year, from 1991 to 1998, the same 15 individuals - all people in a position of power - to portray and interview them.
