Sigmar Polke is a German painter and photographer born in Oelsnitz, in Lower Silesia. He fled with his family to Thuringia in 1945 during the Expulsion of Germans after World War II. His family escaped from the Communist regime in East Germany in 1953, traveling first to West Berlin and then to Düsseldorf.
He came to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s, alongside Gerhard Richter, with witty works similar in style to the Pop Art being made in Britain and America at the same time. His works borrow freely from numerous and widely varying sources, including advertising and popular culture, combining a range of different styles and subjects.Sigmar Polke: Back To Postmodernity
