Ich will den Stall ausmisten
2000
A swirling, chaotic composition of acrylic and India ink fills the paper with energetic, gestural marks that evoke a sense of urgency and unrest. Polke's characteristic wit and subversion are embedded in the work's raw, spontaneous quality, where fluid washes of color collide with dense, scratchy linework. The title—meaning "I want to muck out the stable"—suggests a desire for radical cleansing or purging, lending the visual turbulence a pointed, darkly humorous undertone.
