Good News: The New Beauty & The Beast Is Just As Magical As The Original

Exhibition focuses on the elegant patterns of lines in Sigmar Polke’s work
He was a magician when it came to forms and media and, at the same time, a cynic when it came to reality: in his multi-facetted images, moments of painting and elements of drawing, materials and patterns, photos and drawings are layered, collaged and contrasted while his pictorial worlds reflect critically on our social and political worlds – his irony was biting and nasty.
