König David 2009

"König David" (2009) is a work by German artist Sigmar Polke, known for his use of unconventional materials and techniques. This piece appears to be a reimagining of a stained-glass window, with a figure of King David, recognizable by his harp, depicted in a distinctive fragmented style. This fragmentation adds a sense of historical decay and underscores the influence of traditional religious imagery in Polke's work, often explored through the lens of conceptualism.
