Sigmar Polke’s huge, striking paintings are being given their first major exhibition in Budapest since winning a number of awards in Europe and America. Born in 1945, Polke studied at the Hamburg Art Academy. Her work first made an impact at the Venice Biennale in 1986, and her canvases, which feature powerful juxtaposed images and a punchline at the bottom, have also been seen at the Liverpool Tate and the Munich Art House.
