"Siegmar Polke: Works on Paper 1963-1974"
1999-07-16 until 1999-10-17
Hamburger Kunsthalle
Hamburg, ,
DE Germany
The recent comprehensive retrospective in the Bundeskunsthalle Bonn and the
Nationalgalerie Berlin firmly established Sigmar Polke’s reputation as one of the
leading artists of the present day.
Alongside his paintings, Polke has been
creating a graphic œuvre of considerable
dimensions and particular significance
since the early 1960s. These drawings
have an individual character,
accompanying the paintings with their
tremendous wealth of pictorial and
creative ideas.
Organized in collaboration with the
Museum of Modern Art in New York, this
exhibition in the Hamburg Kunsthalle will
be the only European showing of an
extensive survey of Polke’s drawings,
from the small format works of the 1960s
to the picture-sized works of the 1970s,
plus a number of previously unknown
sketchbooks.
The exhibition will be accompagnied by
an approx. 250 page catalogue with illustrations of almost all the exhibits. The
exhibition itself will contain around 200 drawings in various techniques from major
European and American collections.
