Five things you need to know about Sigmar Polke

Sigmar Polke is one of the most resolutely experimental artists of the 20th century, whose work ranges from photographic collages to mushrooms painted while on hallucinogenic drugs.

Alibis: Sigmar Polke 1963–2010 at Tate Modern is the first retrospective to bring together the broad range of media the German artist worked with – from painting, drawing, photography, film and sculpture to notebooks, slide projections and photocopies.

In this short film made by the Art Fund, broadcaster Sarfraz Manzoor explores the exhibition and explains five things to know about Sigmar Polke. See the link below for more information.
