About the Item

Published by D.A.P, New York, 2011 Perhaps the supreme instance of Polke’s political art is We Petty Bourgeois!, the ambitious series at the heart of this volume. Made between 1974 and 1976, and loosely based on Hans Magnus Enzensbergers 1976 essay “On the Inevitability of the Middle Class,” it consists of ten large-scale canvas-mounted works on paper, reproduced here in foldout colour plates, in which densely inscribed layers of figures, traceries, sigils, and quotation derived from the pop culture of the era narrate an epic vision of the scars and aspirations of postwar Europe. Dimensions: H 27cm x W22 cm x 4cm Condition: Fine, dust jacket fine.
