Sigmar Polke, an artist of infinite, often ravishing pictorial jest, whose sarcastic and vibrant layering of found images and maverick, chaos-provoking painting processes left an indelible mark on the last four decades of contemporary painting, died yesterday in Cologne, Germany. He was 69; the cause was complications of cancer, according to Gordon Veneklasen, a partner at the Michael Werner Gallery New York, the artist’s chief American representative.
((one of my all time fav's, fell in love with his work when i moved to NYC in 84))

RIP, great artist
Yes great time Dr, thanks as you made me remember I saw all 4 USA retrospect's (DC, SF, Chicago, Brooklyn and all were different) in 91 and all around rock shows (Buttholes or Greatful Dead).
