Sigmar-Polke-Plakate

Meer over het boek

This book presents all the posters for exhibitions containing works by Sigmar Polke - posters that are almost exclusively determined by an ironic eye that points at the anarchic wit and innovative formal world of this extraordinary artist. The book is also a journey through the art world of the 1960s. Leafing through these gems, it quickly becomes clear who Polke's early benefactors were and where presentations were later held, but also which large institutional retrospectives subsequently promoted and reflected his worldwide fame. As a result, the book is a veritable who's who of contemporary art, whether presented by galleries, art associations or museums of world renown. Thus, a selection has been made not only from the well-known examples, but also from the puzzling motifs in the artist's work, making this book something of a cross-section of Polke's richly-facetted oeuvre.
