VISIONS OF GASPELHOF
when I was a kid I visited Sigmar Polke's
home in Gaspelhof with my parents,
there I made a drawing of his cat with
many tails laying under a rose bush.
I found the old sketch and made
this painting.
I thought Sigmar was a banker
as a kid since he usually wore
blue shirts and khaki trousers
like all the other bankers
working opposite my school
as a kid. I didn't know that he
was an artist, I thought he
just had a lot of art in house.
I thought his brother made all
the art because his brother was
sleeping all the time in Sigmars studio.
I also thought his cat had many tails.
