• Large, highly abstract gouache from the seminal period of Sigmar Polke's artistic development in the 1980s.
• Breaking free from figuration, he experimented with colors and techniques and reached a completely new form of expression.
• The year the work was made, the Kunstmuseum Bonn showed a comprehensive solo exhibition of his works on paper.
• Two years before this work was created, his contribution to the German Pavilion at the 1986 Venice Biennale was awarded the Golden Lion.
