Artists in conversation
Georg Baselitz
German · b. 1938
Baselitz shares Polke's German artistic context and similarly works with expressive ink and gouache on paper, layering translucent washes with gestural mark making to achieve raw abstract and figurative effects.
A.R. Penck
German · b. 1939
Penck worked extensively with ink and gouache on paper in the 1980s, producing layered abstract works with symbolic mark making that closely parallels Polke's experimental approach to drawing media during the same period.
Günter Brus
Austrian · b. 1938
Brus creates densely layered ink and gouache works on paper that combine abstraction with expressive mark making, reflecting a similar Central European sensibility and translucent material layering seen in this Polke piece.
