Michael Werner Gallery in London presents an exhibition of early works on paper by Sigmar Polke, the famous German painter and photographer.
Polke experimented with a wide range of styles, subject matters and materials. In the 1970s, he concentrated on photography, returning to paint in the 1980s, when he produced abstract works created by chance through chemical reactions between paint and other products. In the last 20 years of his life, he produced paintings focused on historical events and perceptions of them.
This is the largest and most comprehensive exhibition in London of Polke’s works on paper in just over a decade. The exhibition features nearly 100 works, many of which are being exhibited for the first time.
When: from 05/02 to 18/04
Where: Michael Werner Gallery – 22 Upper Brook Street – London
