Overview

"This publication marks the first British retrospective of the German artist Sigmar Polke, widely acknowledged as one of the leading painters working today. Using a full arsenal of materials, Polke conjures with the lies and illusions of painting, in works of wit, beauty and power." "Sean Rainbird contributes a survey of Polke's paintings from the early sixties to the present day, and Judith Nesbitt provides an insight into Polke as 'potatologist'." "Thomas McEvilley argues that, despite appearances, there is in Polke's various styles a true, consistent sensibility - an ironic and intense critique of the art of painting."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
