旧ドイツ東部領土から東ドイツを経て1953年に西ドイツに移住した後、デュッセルドルフを拠点に活動した。1960年代にゲルハルト・リヒターやコンラート・フィッシャーと「資本主義リアリズム」を標榜した絵画運動を始めて頭角を現し、リヒター、ゲオルグ・バゼリッツ、アンゼルム・キーファーらと並ぶドイツの現代絵画の旗手として知られるようになった。
Sigmar Polke (German, 1941–2010) was one of the most voraciously experimental artists of the twentieth century. This retrospective is the first to encompass the unusually broad range of mediums he worked with during his five-decade career, including painting, photography, film, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, television, performance, and stained glass, as well as his constant, highly innovative blurring of the boundaries between these mediums. Masquerading as many different artists—making cunning figurative paintings at one moment and abstract photographs the next—he always eluded easy categorization.
