Are you interested in original prints and editions by the German artist Sigmar Polke? Under Sigmar Polke artworks and editions you will find our current program of available works.

 

Limited edition prints by Sigmar Polke 

In his graphic works Sigmar Polke draws on found imagery. They form an essential basis of Polke's artistic work. Since the 1960s, the painter has devoted himself to commercial prints, with which he pursued the goal of democratizing art. Through the distribution of prints, Sigmar Polke wanted to offer art that was affordable for everyone. He often used the technique of offset and silkscreen printing, because it allowed a much higher edition in contrast to other printing techniques.

The limited editions we offer are prints that were published between 50 and 120 copies and are both handsigned and numbered. 

 

Silkscreens by Sigmar Polke

In our program is the Sigmar Polke silkscreen Affenschaukel from 1995. This print shows a jumble of seemingly unrelated figures, signs, motif fragments and symbols. Central to the image is a seesaw with two monkeys sitting on its ends.

In addition, we can offer for sale the silkscreen prints Ghostreiter and Ghost. Both prints were created in 2003 and have a format of 51 x 73 cm. Here the artist puts abstract as well as figurative elements of representation on a paper, which is modeled in its box sequence of a storyboard.

The 2001 work entitled Teufel von Berlin has a format of 50 x 70 cm. It shows several older men pulling rope on a meadow, watched by the spectators standing next to them. The work is signed by hand on the right under the motif.

The prints Vermutung, Kardinäle, Bargeld lacht and Lila Geschenk are works from 2002 in which the background appears like a checkered sheet of paper. In the latter two works, the artist integrates representations of price tags familiar from advertisements. From the very beginning of his career, the artist played with quotations of style and motifs, incorporating comics into his works in addition to media images and illustrations.

Other silkscreens by Polke made in 1998 are Oase, Filmverführung and Betriebsfest, all of which were printed on Schoellershammer board and are handsigned and numbered by the artist.

The black-and-white silkscreens Später oder Früher and Früher und Später from 2003 are reminiscent of greatly enlarged sections of a printed image in that the halftone dots of the apparent print have been strongly emphasized. In the process, however, the original motif seems unrecognizable and abstract due to enlargement. The artist often took pictures from news magazines, which were printed in the favorable halftone process and were composed of colored dots. He enlarged them and transferred the motif detail to his work surface, so that the pointilistic-looking motifs lost their contexts. Polke often added dots to the pictures afterwards, which led to a deliberate manipulation of the statement of the original artwork.

 

Lithographs by Sigmar Polke

In addition to a large selection of screen prints, you will find a number of lithographs by Sigmar Polke in our online gallery. Among them is the 70 x 50 cm color lithograph ohne Titel (Spazierstock). While on the left you can see the depiction of a wine opener, on the right you can see the detail of a hand holding the round handle of a walking stick. 

Currently, you can also find the abstract, colored lithograph Reiher mit Sonnenuntergang as well as the 59.2 x 77 cm print S. schmeckt Pfirsich von H. among our Polke artworks. It is a handsigned and numbered print that was commissioned by the publishing house Gruner + Jahr AG for the magazine "Capital. Das Wirtschaftsmagazin" in cooperation with Edition Schellmann. It combines figurative and abstract elements and is stylistically and formally related to Polke's characteristic dot matrix paintings.

Another multicolor offset lithograph, which contains figurative as well as abstract pictorial elements, is Lackmus. It is printed on Hahnenmühle handmade paper and handsigned, dated, titled and numbered by the artist. Next to it is also the offset lithograph Die Treppe von Cannes from 2000, which reproduces the motif of a greatly enlarged image of a staircase with banisters and a carpet laid out. In the center left there is a large bright white dot that covers parts of the image section and associates the bright flash of a camera.

 

Biography

Childhood and education

Sigmar Polke was born on 13 February 1941 in Oels, Lower Silesia. After the end of the war, the family fled to Thuringia, from where they left for the Federal Republic of Germany, at first to West Berlin and, eventually, to Dusseldorf. From 1959 to 1961, Polke trained as stained-glass artist in Dusseldorf-Kaiserswerth. In the following year, he took up his studies under Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Hoehme and Karl Otto Goetz at the Kunstakademie Dusseldorf, which he completed in 1967. During the early 1960s, starting with his first raster drawing (Lee Harvey Oswald), he created his first raster images. Polke used images from news magazines that were printed in simple halftone and consisted of dots for his by now iconic raster images. He then transferred the dots that he had previously enlarged in a nearly pointillistic style on canvas, but put new spots in the image and thus manipulated the journalistic statement of the original photograph. Simultaneously, an ironic reference to famous American contemporaries' screen prints was formed, such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg.

 

Capitalist Realism and cooperation with Gerhard Richter

At the same time, Polke and his fellow students Gerhard Richter, Mandfred Kuttner and Konrad Lueg originated the School of Capitalist Realism, an artistic community that behaved as critically towards Socialistic Realismof the East as towards the pop culture of the West and thus tried to unveil the ideology behind the two systems. The community started with the conception and realisation of Leben mit Pop - eine Demonstration für den Kaptalistischen Realismus. The three artists hosted their first Demonstrative Ausstellung (demonstrative exhibition) at Kaiserstraße 31A in Dusseldorf. The artist group was characterised by an ironic dealing with products of the everyday consumer world and the critical use of everyday clichés of the Biedermeier-like post-war society of the Adenauer era. The appreciatively satirised Capitalist Realism on the other side of the wall whose doctrine they could escape from by relocating to the West. Wit, irony and ambiguity have been characteristic for Polke's artworks since these early years. In his artworks he monumentally draws attention to trivial objects such as socks, sausages or pledges from travel brochures. In 1966, Polke received the Kunstpreis der Jugend and opened his first solo exhibition.

 

Later years and independent artist

From 1970 to 1971, Polke was a visiting professor and, eventually, full professor with the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg from 1977 to 1991. In Hamburg, Polke lived and worked at the Willicher Gaspelshof, some kind of artist commune, at which many of Polke's friends were guests again and again. Polke relocated back to Cologne, where he lived and worked until he died, in 1978. During the 1970s and 80s, the artist travelled around the whole world, which lead him to Australia, Afghanistan, South-East Asia and Papua New Guinea. The camera gained more and more importance for his oeuvre over the course of his travel activity. A more and more experimental character prevailed in photography as well as painting, which included coincidence and autonomous chemical processes into his oeuvre.

During the late 1970s and the early 1980s, Polke took part in important exhibitions of contemporary art in West Germany regularly. In 1972, 1977 and 1982, Polke participated in documenta 5 to 7. Polke's artworks were displayed at the exhibitions Zeitgeist (1982) and Von hier aus – Zwei Monate neue deutsche Kunst (1984) in Dusseldorf. A highlight of his artistic career was the participation in the Biennale in Venice in 1986. He exhibited thermosensitive images that gleamed in different colours depending on the temperature of the day in the German pavilion. He was given the Golden Lion for the best artistic performance for this artwork.

A comprehensive retrospective regarding Polke's oeuvre took place at the Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle der Bundesrepublik (art gallery and exhibition hall of the Federal Republic of Germany) in Bonn and at the Galerie der Gegenwart, Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin in 1977. Polke received his first public assignment almost ten years later in 2006.  He renewed the glass windows at the Grossmünster in Zurich and was able to go back to the roots of being a stained-glass artist in this way. The five glass and eight agate windows were finished in November 2009.

Sigmar Polke was no public person. The more he turned into a star of the international art world, the more he shut himself away from the public in order to primarily communicate with the viewer through his artwork.
