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 Capitalist Realism?
Capitalist Realism is a German form of political pop art that emerged in Cold War-era Berlin in 1963. It sought to challenge the dominance of American pop art in the Western world. The movement blended the ideologies of both pop art and socialist realism, offering a critique of consumer culture and political power.
