Monika writes that she happened to come across the work “Hängeschränkchen,” by Sigmar Polke, pictured on page 36 of Parkett No. 2. The work is of particular significance to her: Monika’s husband, who had less sense for furniture than for paintings, refused to allow her to buy a second hanging cabinet for the kitchen of their new apartment. Polke, on seeing Monika’s distress, said to her, “Come, I’ll make you one,” and in a short while the painting “Hängeschränkchen” hung next to her cabinet of the same size and color. Some time later the painting was sold to an admirer.
