Derweil im Leben von Sigmar Polke
Das ganze Leben1961–1967
The Düsseldorf Art Academy
At twenty Polke entered the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where in 1961–1967 he studied under Karl Otto Götz and Gerhard Hoehme and was deeply influenced by his teacher Joseph Beuys.
1963
Founds “Capitalist Realism”
In 1963 Polke, with Gerhard Richter and Konrad Fischer (who worked as an artist under the name Konrad Lueg), founded “Capitalist Realism” — an anti-style that appropriated the shorthand of advertising, mocking both the Socialist Realism his family had fled and the consumerist “doctrine” of the West.
11 – 26 May 1963
The “Demonstrative Exhibition” in a shop
From 11 to 26 May 1963 Polke showed work with Manfred Kuttner, Konrad Lueg and Gerhard Richter in the “Demonstrative Ausstellung”, a store-front exhibition in Düsseldorf. His first exhibition took place in 1963.
