Book excerpt: Editioned work held a special place within the oeuvre and working methods of Sigmar Polke (1941-2010): it represented both a way to conduct intensive variations on unique works, and also to transform identical prints into unique objects by altering the foreground, background, or layering. His editions--which comprise objects, books, folders, photography, photocopies, collages and prints--and his painting should therefore be understood as symbiotic. Polke's images are products of his world; they reveal the changing society of the postwar years. The banality of everyday life, the aspirations of the middle classes, national and international politics--all of this, Polke placed under a microscope and reconfigured. Featuring approximately 200 works from the collection Kunstraum am Limes, this catalog contains all of the artist's editions.
