This volume celebrates the last three decades of Sigmar Polke's creative output, following the profound evolution that took place in his painting of the early 1980s. Polke (1941-2010) both contributed to the key creative movements of his age and destabilized them, constantly experimenting with the visual language of the late twentieth century. Examining the ways in which Polke explored the meaning of images and the potential of color, this volume demonstrates the artist's capacity to revitalize the subversive elements of even consumer-driven arts by disregarding the bounds of typical perception, genre and category. This book, which accompanied the 2013 exhibition of Polke's work at the Mus???e de Grenoble, examines the different media used by the artist, his research into them and his keen sense of iconoclasm.
