Sigmar Polke, Illumination Book

About the Item

First edition, published by Walker Art Center, Minnesota, 1995 This scarce catalogue was produced for an exhibition of Polke’s works at the Walker Art Centre. Laid out in 8 chapters, we are introduced to a separate body of works, with quotes, influences, and reproductions of the work presented in a slightly unconventional, surreal manner. A brilliant book, and very Polke.
