Love for Sale: The Words and Pictures of Barbara Kruger

Kate Linker; Barbara Kruger

Synopsis:
Since 1980, Barbara Kruger, one of America's leading artists and an important thinker on postmodern and feminist issues, has lured, exhorted, seduced, and shocked us into reconsidering our values. Love for Sale, the first survey of Kruger's work, includes all her famous pieces, reproducing one-of-a-kind artworks as well as posters, postcards, T-shirts, books, pamphlets, and other forms of "sending" messages. The text by critic Kate Linker discusses the ways in which Kruger's art challenges not only social values but also the nature of art-making and the concept of originality by using images appropriated from various sources to capture our attention.
