‘Negative Value II (Mizar)’ (1982) Sigmar Polke
A shot from second floor of Tate Modern, looking down in part onto Richard Tuttle's massive fabric and wood installation. I was taken by the shadows on the wall and the warm flame colour of Tuttle's piece entitled 'I Don't Know, a Weave of Textile Language'. I am amazed by the number of people credited to this piece, it reads like the credits scrolling at the end of an epic film. The middle image is of a Sigmar Polke canvas it is colour coordinated with the interior images. The Polke exhibition is a celebration of variety, experimentation and travelling on many different planes, aeroplanes, levels and planets. The sketch pads and the multi medium work proves Polke is anything but a 'One Trick Pony', he's funny, he's brave, he's himself and he keeps moving and changing. No one has harnessed him nor held him in any given style or medium, he's inspirational, extensive, original and free.
