Sigmar Polke

THE FLAMBOYANT ARTIST, Sigmar Polke was a strange man with a terrifically creative artistic interpretation.  His work like Andy Warhol, was so picaresque...my...so provocative.  His folks escaped East Germany in 1953 going on to the more free West. Polke founded 'Capitalist Realism.' It had a saucy irony of modernism that was very engaging. His work in the movement was of course a part of the work of the dynamism of Gerhard Richter and Konrad Fischer (a.k.a. Konrad Lueg), also.
