Polke, Sigmar.: Photoworks. When pictures vanish.
Los Angeles, Museum of Contemporary Art. 1995., ISBN: 0914357441, 28,5 x 26 cm. 232 S., 12 nn. Bl. mit zahlr. Abb. Illustr. Gebundene Ausgabe, Hardcover. Anhang ('Aachener Strasse 1995' von Augustina von Nagel u. Sigmar Polke). Edited by Paul Schimmel, chief curator at MOCA, Los Angeles, together with Maria Morris Hambourg, curator of photographs, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York- - Sehr gutes Exemplar.

This comprehensive retrospective of the artist's photography-based works examined the critical role that photography plays in his larger oeuvre; approximately 120 pieces from the mid-'60s to the present, including the key series Paris, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Goya "Die Alten" and new, just-completed series.

This catalog accompanied the first museum retrospective of the photography of influential German multimedia artist Polke. Often thought of as a painter or printmaker, Polke actually experimented with diverse media, refusing to accept the technical limitations they are commonly thought to have. His constant manipulation of negatives, paper, and print and use of double exposures and overprinting can be seen as direct influences from other media and are more aesthetically informed than the technical experiments undertaken by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy 50 years earlier.

In content, Polke shows a preference for abstract compositions and portraits, while in mood the works vere between ethereal and jocular, occasionally achieving both concurrently. The essays elucidate Polke's methods and themes. The more than 150 rich reproductions, however, are the heart of the book.
