"I worked with many artists in the workshop from 1989 onwards, but in these joint endeavors, none was so demanding, so reckless, so experimental, so provocative, so full of ideas [as my work with Polke]. Sigmar left a lot to coincidence, for example, in his painting, the next step was often inspired by an unfinished, interim result. An apparent mistake, an ‘accident’ could turn the whole project on its head. That was very stressful at times, but we had a tacit agreement that we would do whatever it took to achieve results."
Foreword by Julia Rust, Claudia Olbricht, Thomas Olbricht. Text by Tereza de Arruda.
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.
