The artwork, named “Untitled,” was created by Sigmar Polke in 1983. It belongs to the New European Painting movement and is categorized within the abstract genre. The painting showcases Polke’s characteristic approach to abstraction, a hallmark of the New European Painting movement in which he was a seminal figure.
The artwork presents a complex interplay of abstract forms and lines. The composition is defined by a series of curving, interconnected lines against a backdrop of layered green and yellow hues on a blue, dot-patterned background. The central shapes appear almost symmetrical, evoking a sense of deliberate design amidst the abstract execution. The lightly applied background colors provide depth and texture, which contrast with the boldness of the dark lines in the foreground. The overall effect is one of both harmony and tension, reflective of Polke’s innovative and experimental spirit within his abstract oeuvre.
