Sigmar Polke: Affinities Revealed Exhibition Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid

26 November 2024—16 March 2025
Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Spain

'The Museum itself as a source of inspiration and an influence on 20th-century art has been another focus of exhibitions organised by the Prado in recent years. It will return in an exhibition curated by Gloria Moure on the German artist Sigmar Polke, considered one of the most influential painters of the post-war period, and his relationship with Goya. Sigmar Polke. Affinities Revealed, sponsored by the Fundación Amigos del Museo del Prado and with the collaboration of the City Council of Madrid, will include objects, photographs, paintings, films and drawings, together offering a diverse body of material that will reveal the connection between the two artists in terms of both their subject matter and pictorial techniques.'
