- James Kalm passes up shows by Cindy Sherman, Luc Tuymans and Alex Katz and instead makes his way to the west end of Chelsea to bring viewers a glance at “Eine Winterreise”, curated by Vincente Todolí, the first exhibition of the work of Sigmar Polke at the David Zwirner Gallery. Polke (1941-2010) is recognized as one of the most important post war German painters. His unique conceptual approach to painting set him apart from many of the Neo-Expressionists, while simultaneously connecting his work with alchemy and the Dadaist tradition. These works were in part inspired by the artist’s travels through Indonesia, New Guinea, Australia, and Thailand during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and his interest in the ways these cultures used and perceived of color. This program was recorded May 5, 2016 in Chelsea.

Thank you James. Best-
Thank you Kate.
Thanks a lot Mr. Kalm for getting these close shots so we can see the materials, their texture and so on. Each of every piece of Polke's work has an effect on me that I can't put it in words. Your comments are between an amateur and a expertise. Very accessible and instructive for general public. Thank you again.
Thanks for your comments. Yeah, I'm a "professional amateur".
possibly, my very favorite artist of all time - his work is so consistently brilliant. pure genius. James Kalm is the coolest most informative reviewer of them all. very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Thank you Kate. Some wonderful works. There really is nothing like your videos to really get to see an artist's work up close and in detail. So grateful here in the Pyrenees to be able to enjoy so much amazing painting.
I'm really happy I found this! 5 years later. Polke is one of my favorites. Thanks for the reporting! Now that I'm down in Louisiana, your reports are much needed.
Some great surfaces here. Really enjoyed this.
Great show. Thank you James!

All those works have some death vibe. Like decay, malfunction, plastic garbage, filthy stains...
James Kalm ni Jina Kubwa.
A little bit smaller than four by five feet.

Nice... gives me a new view of Polke. I was always put off by the representational stuff. Too Pop and regressive, I thought. You show the physical manipulation of material, where the content lies. And, I think it totally appropriate for a german man to title his work in german. I don't think he saw them as fancy... Americans can be such idiots, as we see in our politics, every day.
+Scott Garrison If you're interested, here are a couple of programs from Polke's MoMA retrospective from 2014 czcams.com/video/F_jEzpQJygw/video.html

+jameskalm I will check them out, thanks.
Wish he'd stop filming as if he was drunk.
Terrible camerajob! 😯
These are deeply unpleasant, aesthetically..I see CIA..love the channel though...
James, you are trying very hard to explain the paintings. Hard to do with all this decorative stuff. Really a third rate painter who revels in texture, splashes, and all sorts of tricks. Giving fancy titles in German does not do the trick.
Paul Tschinkel like “ohne title”?
