Description:
Sigmar Polke’s Der Kuchen ist alle? (The Cake is Finished?) (2006) exemplifies the artist’s playful yet incisive exploration of image, material, and perception. Executed with a combination of screenprint, offset lithography, and shimmering holographic foil, the work blurs the boundaries between high art and mass production. Polke’s use of humor and irony underscores his critical stance toward consumer culture and artistic tradition. This edition—limited to just 40 with 10 artist’s proofs—was published by Edition Mike Karstens in Münster and carries the publisher’s blindstamp. A striking example of Polke’s inventive approach to printmaking
