Screenprint in colors, on board, the full sheet, S. 23 1/4 x 23 1/4 in. (59.1 x 59.1 cm) - signed, dated `70' (the edition was 100 and 20 artist's proofs), published by Cooperative Edition Hamburg, unframed. // Sigmar Polke's Tisch mit umgekippter Kanne I (1970) is a screen-print that plays with perception and abstraction. The image depicts a simple scene—a tipped-over white jug spilling a red, geometric liquid—on a dark table, rendered in a photorealistic yet surreal style. Polke combines photographic realism with graphic elements, transforming the liquid into a flat, unnatural shape that contrasts sharply with the otherwise realistic setting. This juxtaposition disrupts the viewer’s expectation, creating a playful commentary on the nature of representation and reality, typical of Polke’s experimental approach in the 1970s.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
