  • "Handkiss", abstract colour print, signed and numbered by Polke (32/75)
    By Sigmar Polke
    Located in Cologne, DE
    Sigmar Polke (1941-2010) was one of the most important german artists of the late 20th century. In 1961 he joined with Manfred Kuttner, Konrad Lueg and Gerhard Richter the class of Karl Otto Götz at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and these four upcoming artists presented their latest works in 1963 in their self-curated exhibition to bring the newest art movements from oversea and Paris to Germany. On the invitation cards they printed the terminologies „Pop Art, Junk Culture, Nouveau Realisme, Common Object Painting, Neo Dada, New Vulgarismus, Antikunst, Know-Nothing-Genre“ and they proclaimed for themselves to be the first artists to show Pop Art, independently developed in Germany, not just as a copy or an American import. But Polke showed right from the beginning an ironic distance to the sociocritical style of his combatants, that will run through his entire Oeuvre. Influenced by the Fluxus and Neo Dada scene around Joseph Beuys, Daniel Spoerri, Dick Higgins and others in the early 1960s, Polke developed his own style characterized by an anarchic mind and esprit. Similar to the Pop Art Polke searched for the aesthetic in the trivial but here too he simultaneously disavowed the trivial through irony. Very typical for Polke are the famous grid images, known from newspaper printings, where we have horizontal, uniform lines of small dots and by combining certain dots there arises a form. By using perforated sheets and airbrush he could overlay more monochrome grids to create vibrating images and he often played in the printing process with enforced mistakes and errors to disassemble the firm surface of an image to a process of decomposition. Next to the irony and anarchy other keywords to his works are heterogeneity, poly-perspectivity and multivalent metamorphoses in which every reality could be something possibly different at the same time. A world where everything is connected, not by fundamental unity, but by fragmentary dispersion. Because there is no one true reality, he transfers his works in an intermediate state of transformability.

All reasonable offers will be considered. About the Artist: Tom Wesselmann (1931–2004) was an American Pop artist best known for his collages, sculptures, and screenprints that stylized the female figure. Often isolating segments of the body—red lips with a cigarette, a single nipple, or a stylish shoe—his artworks aim was to seize a viewer’s attention. “The prime mission of my art, in the beginning, and continuing still, is to make figurative art as exciting as abstract art,” he once said of his work. Born on February 23, 1931 in Cincinnati, OH, he was drafted into the US Army to serve in the Korean War in 1952. Returning home after the war, he studied drawing at the Art Academy of Cincinnati before working as an illustrator of comic strips and men’s magazines...
