LONDON – Sigmar Polke (1941-2010) was one of the most experimental artists of recent times. Alongside Gerhard Richter and Blinky Palermo, Polke was a key figure in the generation of German artists who first emerged in the 1960s.

This fall Tate Modern presents the first full retrospective of Polke’s career, bringing together paintings, films, sculptures, notebooks, slide projections and photocopies from across five decades, and including works which have never before been exhibited.

The Polke exhibition will open on Oct. 9 and run through Feb. 8, 2015. It is sponsored by The Sigmar Polke Exhibition Supporters Group and Tate International Council
