  • James Kalm passes up shows by Cindy Sherman, Luc Tuymans and Alex Katz and instead makes his way to the west end of Chelsea to bring viewers a glance at “Eine Winterreise”, curated by Vincente Todolí, the first exhibition of the work of Sigmar Polke at the David Zwirner Gallery. Polke (1941-2010) is recognized as one of the most important post war German painters. His unique conceptual approach to painting set him apart from many of the Neo-Expressionists, while simultaneously connecting his work with alchemy and the Dadaist tradition. These works were in part inspired by the artist’s travels through Indonesia, New Guinea, Australia, and Thailand during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and his interest in the ways these cultures used and perceived of color. This program was recorded May 5, 2016 in Chelsea.

    Thanks a lot Mr. Kalm for getting these close shots so we can see the materials, their texture and so on. Each of every piece of Polke's work has an effect on me that I can't put it in words. Your comments are between an amateur and a expertise. Very accessible and instructive for general public. Thank you again.

    Thank you Kate. Some wonderful works. There really is nothing like your videos to really get to see an artist's work up close and in detail. So grateful here in the Pyrenees to be able to enjoy so much amazing painting.

    All those works have some death vibe. Like decay, malfunction, plastic garbage, filthy stains...

    Polke is the european version of Julian Schnabel - like them both just cultural attitudes.

    Nice... gives me a new view of Polke. I was always put off by the representational stuff. Too Pop and regressive, I thought. You show the physical manipulation of material, where the content lies. And, I think it totally appropriate for a german man to title his work in german. I don't think he saw them as fancy... Americans can be such idiots, as we see in our politics, every day.

    James, you are trying very hard to explain the paintings. Hard to do with all this decorative stuff. Really a third rate painter who revels in texture, splashes, and all sorts of tricks. Giving fancy titles in German does not do the trick.

      Paul Tschinkel like “ohne title”?
