Sigmar Polke Born 1941 in Olesnica, Poland. Departed 2010 in Cologne, Germany.
German artist Sigmar Polke (1941–2010) is widely recognised as one of the most innovative painters and multidisciplinary artists of the postwar era. Characterised by an experimental and inquisitive attitude, Polke’s work engages unconventional and diverse materials and techniques and playfully defies social, political, and aesthetic conventions.
Polke’s work is included in the permanent collections of major museums around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago; The Broad, Los Angeles; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Spain; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; National Museum of Art, Osaka; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; and the Tate, United Kingdom, among others.
