BARBARA KRUGER BY RIZZOLI (RARE) Coffee Table Book Size: 9.825" x 1.25" x 12"

RARE limited edition item; 2008 Edition Print; Developed in close partnership with the artist herself, this landmark publication by Alexander Alberro, Martha Gever, Miwon Kwon, and Carol Squiers pays tribute to the remarkable career of Barbara Kruger, one of America's most influential contemporary artists. Kruger's practice is defined by its bold, philosophical, and subversive character, using the combination of imagery and text across a wide range of media and settings to interrogate the hidden social and psychological messages woven into everyday culture. Her work confronts themes of power, sexuality, and representation, drawing on familiar language and the visual force of graphic design to deliver sharp, resonant statements that challenge the viewer's assumptions. The most exhaustive survey of Kruger's output published to date, this volume spans three decades of her career and includes numerous works that have never before been made publicly available. True to the spirit of the artist's practice, the book itself is designed with a manifesto-like sensibility, featuring expansive reproductions of her large-scale installations and public works. These pieces engage with some of the most pressing and contentious issues of our time, among them abortion rights, consumer culture, spirituality, and the politics of identity.; White hardcover book with red embossed title and lettering, encased in a black/white/red/grey/green printed sleeve
