Specialist note

“The processes are what interest me. The picture is not really necessary. The unforeseeable is what turns out to be interesting.” (S. Polke, quoted in Sigmar Polke Farbproben- Materiealversuche- Probierbilder aus den Jahren 1973-86, exh. cat., Galerie Klein, Bad Münstereifel, 1999, n.p.).
