Sigmar Polke: Paintings, Photographs and Films

by Gloria Moure (Author)

Synopsis

Starting from the profane material of everyday culture, Polke interprets images of reality rather than reality itself, satirizes tendencies in contemporary painting, questions the role of the artist as author, breaks down the trivial visual worlds of media photography, and always, but always, takes off on the most magnificient flights of imagination.
