About
Why this artist matters now
Sigmar Polke deployed chemical processes, unconventional materials, and photographic printing techniques across painting, printmaking, and film, developing what he termed Capitalist Realism, an ironic interrogation of consumerism and pop-cultural iconography. His restless material experimentation destabilized the painted surface itself, incorporating everything from meteor dust to toxic pigments. He won the Golden Lion at the 1986 Venice Biennale and was the subject of solo exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
