Bargeld Lacht

Sigmar Polke 's Bargeld lacht (2002) is a provocative screenprint and offset print on cardboard that critiques consumer culture and the seductive power of money. This hand-signed limited edition artwork combines collage-like elements, a printed fabric swatch, graphic hand illustration, and bold advertising text, creating a layered visual commentary characteristic of Polke's experimental approach to contemporary printmaking. Measuring 70 × 50 cm, this signed print exemplifies the artist's mastery of mixed-media techniques and his critical engagement with pop art, advertising, and capitalist imagery. Published in an edition of only 70 plus additional artist's proofs, each print is hand-signed, dated, and numbered by Sigmar Polke, making this a highly collectible example of German contemporary art from one of the most influential postwar artists. Why collectors choose this work: Hand-signed and numbered by Sigmar Polke, rare limited edition of 70, museum-quality screenprint and offset printing, iconic critique of consumer culture, and a significant example of experimental printmaking that bridges pop art and conceptual art traditions.
