In Spring 2010 Lempertz auctioned, with great success, a representative selection of the Carl and Carin Vogel Collection, which also included photography from Sigmar Polke. Further photographic works from this artist with the same provenance will be offered for sale in our Contemporary Art auctions from Autumn 2011. Before this occurs, and this amazing collection is again dispersed, it gives us great pleasure to present, for the first and perhaps the last time, a selection of these works in an exhibition.
Included in the exhibition are, amongst others, early staged photographic works from Polke from the 1960s, as well as motifs from his famous series 'Paris' from 1971. Through numerous exposures, Sigmar Polke captured his personal surroundings throughout the 1970s – artist friends, private views und travels – and then artistically worked them by the use of chemical manipulation in the darkroom and overpainting.
The exhibition will run at Lempertz, during Art Cologne, and then at our representative office in Brussels, parallel to Art Brussels. It will also be on show in the autumn at our branch offices in Berlin and Munich.
An accompanying catalogue with essays from Siegfried Gohr and Maren Klinge documents the, up till now, largely unpublished works.
