The “Printing Mistakes” series
In the mid-1990s Polke began the “Druckfehler” (Printing Mistakes) series: he enlarged printing errors from newspapers, projected them onto polyester and coated them in layers of resin with gold mesh; sometimes he “manufactured” the mistakes — the elongated figures in “From ‘Learning to Learn Anew’” (1998) came from dragging a picture through a photocopier.
