Screenprint in colors, on board, the full sheet, S. 23 1/4 x 23 1/4 in. (59.1 x 59.1 cm) - signed, dated `70' (the edition was 100 and 20 artist's proofs), published by Cooperative Edition Hamburg, unframed. // Sigmar Polke's Tisch mit umgekippter Kanne I (1970) is a screen-print that plays with perception and abstraction. The image depicts a simple scene—a tipped-over white jug spilling a red, geometric liquid—on a dark table, rendered in a photorealistic yet surreal style. Polke combines photographic realism with graphic elements, transforming the liquid into a flat, unnatural shape that contrasts sharply with the otherwise realistic setting. This juxtaposition disrupts the viewer’s expectation, creating a playful commentary on the nature of representation and reality, typical of Polke’s experimental approach in the 1970s.

What is pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
