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 Performance Art?
Performance Art is a genre of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary, involving various art forms. It can be scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous, or meticulously planned, with or without audience participation. Performance Art can be presented live or through media, with the artist either present or absent. It typically involves four basic elements: space, the performer’s body or presence through a medium, time, and the relationship between performer and audience. The artwork consists of actions performed by an individual or group in a specific time and space.
