Artist
Barbara Kruger
b. 1945 · American
Barbara Kruger developed one of contemporary art’s most influential visual languages by combining appropriated black-and-white photographs with declarative text in bold graphic layouts. Drawing on her background in magazine design, she addresses power, gender, consumerism, desire and the politics of address.
