"Sigmar Polke: Music of Unclear Origin"
2001-01-13 until 2001-03-18
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art
Edinburgh, , UK United Kingdom

Sigmar Polke is one of Germany's foremost painters. 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.

This exhibition, toured by the Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations in Stuttgart, presents a group of forty recent gouaches that form a distinct and lively series. This will be the first time that such a large number of works by Polke will be shown in Scotland. The exhibition is accompanied by a beautifully produced catalogue.
