Polkography

Article Abstract:

Artist Sigmar Polke's works are so multilayered and detailed, critics have had difficulty describing or labeling his art. Most of his work offers a glimpse into his personal life and motivations as well as reflect his philosophies on life, love, and imagination. Experimentation with hallucinogenic drugs in the 1970s helped Polk develop his visual perceptions and work beyond accepted artistic conventions.

Louise Lawler: souvenir memories(Surface and Illusions: Ten Portfolios)

Article Abstract:

Artist Louise Lawler's paperweight objects, in which she places photographs of art in glass orbs, offers another dimension in the perception of art, media, and photography. In reducing the artwork, she brings a sense of trivia and fantasy to both her own artistic process and the representation of art in museums and galleries. Her works also provide the viewer with a sense of ownership of a past moment.

Lawler, Louise
