Polke's creative diversity is demonstrated powerfully in the new group of works presented in this book, the so-called 'lenticular pictures'. Photographs showing the paintings in progress - all selected for the book by Polke - reveal the artist's idiosyncratic use of surface, his application of colour and his subtly humorous way of combining abstraction and realism.
Accompanies an exhibition. Text in German and English.
