“Ahatfenster” is an artwork created by the artist Sigmar Polke in 2009. It belongs to the New European Painting art movement and falls within the design genre. This piece is part of the series “Grossmünster (Zurich), Stained Glass Windows (2009).”
The artwork is composed of numerous agate slices arranged within a stained glass window, radiating a spectrum of warm tones interspersed with occasional vivid blues and reds. The organic patterns formed by the sections of agate create an intricate, almost geological tapestry that is both striking and serene. The finer details and natural imperfections of the agate are accentuated by the light passing through each translucent segment. The overall effect is a harmonious blend of nature and artistry, emblematic of Polke’s innovative approach to design and craftsmanship.
