  cardboard box ‘Paper Suit’

   ‘Paper Suit’, brown version

In 1966 James Rosenquist was ‘The Man in the Paper Suit‘, due to the fact that the artist wore a brown suit made of paper by fashion designer Horst to various exhibitions and gallery openings. His idea to wear such a suit design harks back to the brief 1960s fashion for paper dresses like the Warhol dress with Campbell Soup prints.

This hand out is meant as an instruction for experiencing phosphenes created by putting pressure on one’s eye lids. As a result the eyeballs under pressure will show “colored and glittering geometric patterns on the retina”, as the label on the reverse tells.

Sigmar Polke (1941-2010) rarely gave interviews, and on the few occasions when he did so, his responses often frustrated the interviewer’s quest for information. Similarly, he wrote very few artist statements. The relative lack of guidance from the artist has meant that viewers and those who write about Polke’s work must take risks, makes guesses, puzzle things out for themselves. Here in ‘Hallucie’ alluding with faces that may be found within the dots of a printer’s screen is obvious.

The edition “Hallucie” is part of the MoMA Print Collection, New York, USA.
