Sigmar Polke, one of the foremost living painters known for his use of surprising materials, loves photography as a media for experimentation. Playing with accidental chemical processes, layered multiple exposures, and purposefully misapplied procedures, Polke creates magical pictures, which are, at their core, always a portent of the source material, the image depicting reality.

Sigmar Polke?s work contains around 200 editions dating from 1963 to 2009, and the collection Ciesielski has collected them worldwide in their entirety. The book accompanying the exhibition showcasing this collection and its juxtaposition with works in the Lambrecht-Schadeberg collection in the Museum of Contemporary Art Siegen, is intended to facilitate an intense discussion of work of individual, outstanding editions by the late winner of the City of Siegens Ruben?s Prize (2007) lead by a younger generation of critics, but also by specialists with intimate knowledge as well as close associates. The authors embark upon an exciting adventure to formulate new approaches to the work of the ambivalent and ironic Grand Master. With his sheets, maps, books, photographs and objects, Sigmar Polke opened up completely new pathways for art in the twentieth century by means of surprising themes and experimental techniques. The editions drew upon his paintings, on the one hand in order to feed back into them, but on the other, to develop completely individual media-based aspects?almost as if to say: a life of its own. The special feature of Sigmar Polke's editions is of course the fact that a camouflage-like blurring principle is granted full thematic exploration within them. He produced photos here reminiscent of reportage and social criticism and juxtaposed them as equals with his colourful, serial prints containing everyday motifs, his so-called German-pop style-mix of simple fabrics. His critical attitude towards both the media and culture shines through in his multiples, especially when he worked with historical engravings or optical equipment, or even when simulating magical procedures.

Sigmar Polke: The alchemist of German painting wields a magic wand and lenticular screen Sigmar Polke, born in 1941, is one of the most important artists of his generation and is considered the magician, the alchemist among painters. On the occasion of the presentation of the Rubens Prize of the City of Siegen in 2007, he staged an exhibition with the new block of works, the so-called "Lens Pictures". With the lens pictures, after the grids and transparent picture carriers, he draws another optical layer or surface of perception into the painting. The corrugated surface of the lenticular screen acts as a viewing surface that distorts the underlying image because the corrugated surface refracts light in different directions. The technically manufactured lenticular grid, as known from flip pictures, has an amazing 3D effect. However, Polke does not imitate the hyper-illusion of the technical image, but calculates with the inaccuracy and defectiveness of "his" lens grid and the specific aesthetic quality. This book is dedicated to lens images. The peculiarity lies in the fact that the artist collaborated on the layout and the sequence of images and published status reports of important paintings. It is precisely in this processual view of the works that it becomes clear which levels are important for the artist when viewing them
