Born in Silesia, a German province that became part of Poland after World War II, Sigmar Polke moved to West Germany in 1953. Following a brief apprenticeship with a glassmaker, he studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he met Gerhard Richter. Polke first used photomechanical dots in his painting in 1963, marking the start of his image manipulations.
