Humorous satire and artistic diversity, banal everyday art and traditional high art - these are the areas and contrasts in which the post-war artist Sigmar Polke playfully moved. Due to his irony and diversity, he can still only be classified and positioned in the art world to a limited extent, which further complicates his elusive persona. This raises legitimate questions about Polke's conception of art and his perception of art, which Vanessa Tissen explores in her essay. Using the 1973 exhibition Original+F lschung (Original+Fake), she examines the extent to which Polke questions, defines and expands traditional concepts of art.
