Visions from Gaspelhof;
when i was a kid i visited sigmar polke's
house in gaspelhof with my parents,
there I made a drawing of his cat with
many tails laying under a rose bush.
the sketch became 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 and that he was sleeping
all the time in his studio because
he was a musician being drunk
all the time at night playing gigs.
i also thought his cat had many tails.
guess i was dreaming
