Sigmar Polke is a highly exemplary Postmodernist and perhaps one the most indicative of a truly European avant-garde culture. This book presents a number of critiques which shed light on Polke’s otherwise bewildering display of stylistic references, apparent changes of allegiance and often unorthodox techniques of production.

Consistent with an important purpose of the Critical Forum series, it identifies aspects of Polke's work about which there is reasonable consensus besides those which stimulate profound disagreement, on the part of historians and critics who approach him from aesthetic, philosophical and socio-cultural standpoints. Some contributors ground Polke in Neo-Dada's great enterprise to reclaim contact with the historic German avant-garde, and see him as having strategically confused representation and abstraction identified as these idioms were with Cold War factions competing to subsume German (and European) cultural identity. Others regard him as an exponent of German Pop, reflecting not on conspicuous consumption in a plentiful economy (like American counterparts) so much as on 'ordinary' consumption in the subsistence economy which characterised Europe, and especially the two Germanies, during the long period of post-war recovery. Yet others argue that Polke is a Modernist who has missed the crucial moment when practising in an exclusively modernist idiom would have been significant, and see him as compulsively revisiting Pop, Op, Conceptualism, New Figuration and Post Painterly Abstraction. And still others regard this aspect of his work as indicating that significance today resides in synthetic achievement, and that Polke is thus a highly exemplary Postmodernist and perhaps also one of the most indicative of a truly European avant-garde culture during a time when American critiques and values have tended to dominate art historical thinking.
