In 1986, Sigmar Polke was awarded the Golden Lion at the German Pavilion of the Venice Biennale for his series Athanor.
Thanks to the efforts of Dierk Stemmler, then director of the Museum Abteiberg and curator of the German Pavilion in 1968, the six Kunststoffsiegel-Bilder were acquired for the museum’s collection.
