The Akademie der Kunst in Berlin opened a fantastic exhibition presents some of the most iconic designs of artist Sigmar Polke Jan. 14.
Klaus Staeck, a close friend of Polke, pays tribute to more than 40 years of creative friendship between him and one of the most important German painters in this personal exhibition at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin. Staeck was not only editor and gallery owner of the famous painter, but also a creative partner. Now 90 large-format drawings are presented us, which Polke devised during more than 40 year of career before his death in 2010. He died prematurely at the early age of 69; one of the most international artists from Germany, which emphasized not only for its bold criticism, but also for his elegant sense of humor.
Polke was born in northern Germany; he was a multifaceted artist who worked outside the traditional aesthetic parameters and academics. In the 60´s he became known as one of the founders of “Capitalist Realism”. With humor and critical distance watching our reality marked by a rapacious capitalism. The architect detected with insight empty political slogans and the dark temptations that lay in the depths of repression and bourgeois society.
Without doubt, Polke was becouse of this one of the most interesting German artists, as he was able to bring out the ethical contradictions in our postmodern society.
