“To learn more and more about him, it has sometimes seemed to me, is to know less and less. His art is like Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland rabbit hole, entrance to a realm of spiralling perplexities…” Peter Schjeldhal, ‘The Daemon and Sigmar Polke’ in San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Sigmar Polke, exh. cat., 1990-1991, p. 17
