Another one gone this week.I speak of the artist Sigmar Polke, yet another influential artist of my time and an inspirational figure to me, who passed away on June 10th. He was 69.
I have been fortunate enough in my travels to see quite a number of his works in the flesh, including a fantastic retrospective exhibition in 2004 - I think it was in New York.
"Polke for a long time has been the most interesting, least predictable of the painters around." critic and curator Robert Storr, 2007.Ruhe in Frieden Sigmar Polke.
