Like the American Pop artists, Polke prefers to work on second-hand imagery, drawing not only on the mass media but also his own photographs and the history of art, as in This is All That Remains of the Original Statue. In the 1970s Polke combined the three different strands of research he had experimented with in the previous decade: the depiction of banal motifs taken from everyday life and raised to themes of art; the reproduction in monumental form of the typographic grid used in offset printing; the use of cheap fabrics, normally used as tablecloths or sheets, as the supports for a gestural painting capable of desecrating the existentialism of Art Informel, incorporating the printed motifs into his compositions. The results are images of dense visual complexity and thematic obscurity, although the title provides the outlines of a possible plot. The tendency towards paradox and irony, the interlacing of different iconographic and cartoonish elements on painted textures drive the associative tension of the viewer in complex directions, causing unexpected keys to interpretation to emerge from the obscurity.
