MoMA: Alibis: Sigmar Polke 1963–2010

MoMA presents this retrospective of the vast and varied work of German artist Sigmar Polke (1941-2010), who worked in an "unusually broad range of mediums ... including painting, photography, film, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, television, performance, and stained glass, as well as his constant, highly innovative blurring of the boundaries between these mediums." The exhibition website includes a multi-section chronology that places Polke's work in the context of contemporaries. For example, the German Pop section of the chronology includes works by Polke, Joseph Beuys and Dieter Roth, all related to chocolate. The Consciousness Raisers section features Polke's Telepathic Session II (William Blake–Sigmar Polke), with two canvases connected by strings or cables, along with a Jimi Hendrix poster from 1969, showing similar connectors emerging from Hendrix's head. There is also a set of 32 installation images that depict Polke's work arranged in the galleries at MoMA.
