Quote from Parkett
“Somehow, for all the visual excitement of their collective presence, each picture of Polke’s as it flickers before us, seems simultaneously drawn backward into the time and place of its creation and sucked upward into some wheeling constellation of enduring cultural concerns.”
Dave Hickey, Parkett No. 30, 1991
