About The Work
Endless experimental, the work of German post-war artist Sigmar Polke often challenged conventions of art and art history, manipulating events through a lens of varying perceptions. While his oeuvre includes work of all mediums, Polke spent a great deal of the 1970s focused on photography. In this offset lithograph, four images form the streets of New York City are placed together over a ghostly imprint of the Statue of Liberty.
