Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endless Enigma: Eight Centuries of Fantastic Art explores the ways in which artists have sought to explain their world in terms of an alternate reality, drawn from imagination, the subconscious, poetry, nature, myth, and religion. Endless Enigma takes as its point of departure Alfred H. Barr Jr.’s legendary 1936 exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism, which not only introduced these movements to the American public, but also placed them in a historical and cultural context by situating them with artists from earlier centuries. Presenting works from the twelfth century to the present day, this catalogue is organized into six themes—Monsters & Demons, Dreams & Temptation, Fragmented Body, Unconscious Gesture, Super Nature, and Sense of Place. Works included range from medieval gargoyles to twentieth-century works by Louise Bourgeois, Sigmar Polke, and Pablo Picasso as well as contemporary works by Michaël Borremans, Marcel Dzama, and Raymond Pettibon. Masterworks from the likes of Piero di Cosimo, Francisco de Goya, and Titian are considered alongside those by William Blake and Odilon Redon. Time folds and temporal barriers collapse when Damiano Cappelli meets Edvard Munch, and Salvator Rosa encounters Luc Tuymans and Lisa Yuskavage. Salvador Dalí, Sherrie Levine, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Kerry James Marshall—eight centuries intersect and, as such, this wide-ranging catalogue examines affinities in intention and imagery between works executed across a broad span of time. Organized in collaboration with Nicholas Hall, a specialist in the field of Old Masters and nineteenth-century art, this fully illustrated catalogue is published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at David Zwirner, New York, in 2018. It includes new scholarship by Dawn Ades, Olivier Berggruen, and J. Patrice Marandel.

Book excerpt: Sigmar Polke_s ten-part series Wir Kleinbürger! Zeitgenossen und Zeitgenossinnen occupies a very important place in the artist_s oeuvre owing to the unique variety of figures, traces, signs and quotations from popular imagery it contains: echoes of _Capitalist Realism_ from the 1960s blend with precursors to Polke_s chemical and optical experiments with colour in the 1980s as well as the political themes that were to become increasingly prominent in his work from the mid-1990s onwards. As such it provides a panoramic view of art and everyday life in the Federal Republic of Germany in a period marked by hippie culture, the new women_s movement and terrorism. Taking the Kleinbürger series as its starting point, this book provides for the first time insight into the whole of Polke_s artistic output in the 1970s, a topic hitherto neglected by art historians. Films, photographs, drawings and paintings, supplemented by documentary material and source images, serve not only to illustrate the diversity of his work across a range of media but also to present a completely new _ as a result of being long ignored _ image of Polke in the era of sex, drugs and rock_n_roll.

Book excerpt: Sigmar Polke (born 1941) recently completed a series of 12 windows for the Grossmünster cathedral in Zürich, setting new standards for the mutual relationship between art and church. One group of seven Romanesque windows shows luminous mosaics of thinly sliced agate, some of it artificially colored, to produce pulsating blocks of back-lit color. Says Marina Warner, "The interior of rocks opens not only on unexpected colors... on once imprisoned now scintillating rays and gleams, but it also tunnels into the past, into the distant past of geological and cosmological millennia." For the remaining five windows, Polke designed images of figures from the Old Testament, based on medieval illuminations, which have themselves undergone transformation in the course of their long journey through time. Polke's figures now appear as radiantly contemporary icons created in colored glass, using a variety of traditional and customized techniques devised especially for this project.

Book excerpt: In conjunction with the exhibition Alibis: Sigmar Polke, this unique evening brings together rarely seen films by Sigmar Polke and his collaborations with other filmmakers. Polke's densely layered and open ended films reflect the flood of observations that shaped his life and work. Georg and Anna Polke, Sigmar's children, have restored over two decades worth of film material, much of which was never publicly screened during Polke's lifetime. The rare films in this screening span the artist's life and work providing an insight into his studio, his daily life and family as well as his international travel and interest in other cultures. The films will be introduced by special guests from Polke's family who will discuss his relationship to film and Christof Kohlhöfer will also discuss his collaboration with Polke. -- https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/sigmar-polke-films.

Book excerpt: This first volume in the Tate Gallery Liverpool Critical Forum series is derived from a conference held in conjunction with the display of Abstract Expressionist Painting from the USA, which was mounted at Tate Gallery Liverpool from March 1992 to January 1993. The display comprised 21 paintings by 13 artists, including Ad Reinhardt, Norman Lewis, Adolph Gottlieb, Jackson Pollock, Arshile Gorky, Franz Kline and Willem de Kooning. The objectives of the conference, involving speakers from the international community of scholarship in the field, were: to elicit new observations, critical judgments and proposals from the knowledge base of abstract expressionism and perhaps to challenge some of its prevailing conventions; and to debate the role of the Tate Gallery Liverpool as a modifier of this field of knowledge.

Book excerpt: "In this detailed examination of Kunsthalle Bern, 1992, Anne Rorimer considers the work in the context of Asher's ongoing desire to fuse art with the material, economic and social conditions of insitutional presentation. Rorimer analyses the work in relation to earlier Minimalist artists like Dan Flavin and Conceptualists such as Marcel Broodthaers, Daniel Burren and Maria Nordman. She also considers how Asher's practice has resonated with a younger generation including Fred Wilson, Andrea Fraser and Maria Eichhorn"--Back cover.

Book excerpt: "Here, for the first time, is a comprehensive presentation of a hitherto little-known and under-appreciated aspect of the art of Sigmar Polke: the more than 140 works that he has produced in editions since 1963. This catalogue raisonné is no mere record of a subordinate genre: it offers a direct insight into the highly experimental universe of imagery that characterizes one of the major artists of the past century. It reveals the immense importance of the editioned works in relation to Polke's art as a whole.Since the early 1970s, the authors of this catalogue, Jürgen Becker and Claus von der Osten, have collected editioned works in all their manifold forms. With the extensive picture material provided by Polke's prints, editioned drawings and photographs, objects, catalog inserts, artist's books and posters, and with Martin Hentschel's knowledgeable essay, this catalogue raisonné is both a picture book full of contrasts and a fascinating work of reference. Polke's wit, his biting mockery and his scintillating invention are as relishable as ever"--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Editioned work held a special place within the oeuvre and working methods of Sigmar Polke (1941-2010): it represented both a way to conduct intensive variations on unique works, and also to transform identical prints into unique objects by altering the foreground, background, or layering. His editions--which comprise objects, books, folders, photography, photocopies, collages and prints--and his painting should therefore be understood as symbiotic. Polke's images are products of his world; they reveal the changing society of the postwar years. The banality of everyday life, the aspirations of the middle classes, national and international politics--all of this, Polke placed under a microscope and reconfigured. Featuring approximately 200 works from the collection Kunstraum am Limes, this catalog contains all of the artist's editions.

Book excerpt: Four artists from Germany, known globally, who have each attained a level of fame that is unique in the history of German art. Their renown was cemented by their early work of the 1960s--that decade of reaction and rebellion, of confrontation and upheaval, of utopias and a new social compass. In conversations with Gotz Adriani, the artists talk frankly about their work during this time when German society, East and West, may have got over the Nazi regime and the worst of the devastation of the war, but not the cultural and intellectual roots of Germany's fascist past. The book offers a fresh and comprehensive look at the early works of Baselitz, Richter, Polke, and Kiefer, at how each one variously tackled the aesthetic dominance of abstract art and the unique social and political environment of their newly founded country, the Federal Republic of Germany.

Book excerpt: Sigmar Polke's thirty-five-year career, during which he has produced a vast range of work in all mediums, has earned him a reputation as one of the most significant artists of his generation. Born in 1941, he began his creative output around 1963 in Dusseldorf during a time of enormous social, cultural, and artistic changes in Germany and elsewhere. Few of his works demonstrate more vividly his imagination, sardonic wit, and subversive approach than the drawings, watercolors, and gouaches produced during the 1960s and early 1970s. Embedded in these images are incisive and parodic commentaries on consumer society, the postwar political scene in Germany, and classic artistic conventions.

This book presents a number of critiques which shed light on Polke’s otherwise bewildering display of stylistic references, apparent changes of allegiance and often unorthodox techniques of production.

Book excerpt: An illustrated exploration of Girlfriends (1965/66), one of Sigmar Polke's important early paintings. The artist Sigmar Polke (1941–2010) worked across a broad range of media—including photography, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and film—and in styles that varied from abstract expressionism to Pop. This volume in Afterall's One Work series offers an illustrated exploration of Freundinnen (Girlfriends 1965/66), one of Polke's important early paintings. Taken from a found image of two young women, and using the raster dots also found in mass media reproductions, Girlfriends offers a statement about the use and social function of images. Stefan Gronert approaches Girlfriends through its deliberate and elusive ambiguity, providing technical detail and historical background that allow some of the work's motivation and depth to become clearer. Gronert analyzes Polke's relationship to his tutors and peers, especially Gerhard Richter; describes the art historical context in which Polke worked; and discusses some of the social and political issues to which Girlfriends refers. Considering such topics as the distinction between Polke and Alain Jacquet in their use of photographed material, between Polke's use of the raster technique and that of Roy Lichtenstein, and the feminist discourse of the time, Gronert draws on a variety of critical interpretations of Polke's work, including some material that has not yet been translated into English.
