"The publication entitled Sigmar Polke - Transit focuses upon the role of the process approach in the artist's work. The book shows how Polke forges transitional links between art and the world of commerce, between the historical and the trivial, and how he employs conventional means as he swims against the tide of media images. This aspect is examined with particular thoroughness in his Misprints series, in which he experiments playfully with the ambivalence of mechanically produced matrices."--inside cover.
