Adopting the raster dots found in mass-media reproductions, Polke's Girlfriends foregrounds a prolific body of work crossing a broad range of media -- photography, painting, print-making, sculpture and film -- and sytles varying from Abstract Expressionism to Pop. In this book, Stefan Gronert approaches Girlfriends through its technical detail and historical context, analyising Polke's relationship to his tutors, peers and friends -- especially Gerhard Richter. Considering such topics as the use of photographed material, the raster technique and the feminist discourse of Polke's work, including some material that has not previously been translated into English. 600 10 $a Polke, Sigmar. 830 0 $a One work. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213012600.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A6116A86FAD211E7A45C351A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
