Barbara Kruger Biography

Barbara Kruger is a conceptual artist and collagist associated with The Pictures Generation. Much of Kruger's work features black-and-white photographs overlaid with declarative captions in white-on-red Futura Bold Oblique or Helvetica Ultra Condensed text. The phrases in her pieces often use pronouns such as "you," "your," "I," "we," and "they," addressing themes of power, identity, consumerism, and sexuality. Kruger is recognized for her integration of typography and imagery to convey feminist cultural activism. Her works examine stereotypes and the practices of industrialism with text layered over mass media images.

Kruger lives and works in New York and Los Angeles. She serves as Distinguished Professor of New Genres at the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture.

Kruger has been included on the TIME 100 list of Most Influential People. Her institutional recognition includes a large-scale solo exhibition, "Barbara Kruger: Thinking of You. I Mean Me. I Mean You." at the Art Institute of Chicago, which traveled to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Kruger's work continues to influence contemporary art and visual culture, and she is regularly invited to speak at major art events and institutions.
