Our dear mother and grandmother passed away.
Beatrice Stocklin Troller passed away on August 18, 2015 after a valiant
battle with cancer. Beatrice was born on February 18th, 1932 in Basel,
Switzerland, where she attended Kunstgewerbeschule, the school of arts and
crafts. With her late husband, artist Fred Troller, she starred in the
second Cinerama feature "CINERAMA HOLIDAY" (1955), directed by Robert
L. Bendick and Philippe De Lacy. In the documentary feature, the Trollers
toured the United States, while an American couple visited Switzerland and
Paris.
After she moved to the United States in the early 1960s, Beatrice Stocklin
Troller studied photography at New York University and with Evelyn Hofer at
the State University of New York at Purchase. She received a Certificate of
Excellence from the American Institute of Graphic Arts. Her expressive and
experimental personal photography has been displayed in exhibits at the
Swiss Institute of New York, the Hiram Halle Memorial Library in Pound
Ridge, New York; the Swiss Institute in New York, the Rye Arts Center
Gallery, the Wainwright House in Rye, New York; and the Parrish Art Museum
in Southhampton, New York.
