The artist Sigmar Polke (1941-2010) worked across a broad range of media - including photography, painting, printmaking, sculpture and film - and in styles that varied from abstract expressionism to Pop. This volume offers an illustrated exploration of 'Freundinnen' ('Girlfriends' 1965/66), one of Polke's important early paintings. Taken from a found image of two young women, and using the raster dots also found in mass media reproductions, the work offers a statement about the use and social function of images.
