Barbara Kruger

description

Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held May 2 - 30, 1987. Includes nineteen plates of Kruger's color and black-and-white photographs, as well as an essay by Barbara Kruger and an essay on Kruger by Jean Baudrillard. On viewing Kruger's pieces, Baudrillard writes that "One can see them either as advertising, pure and simple, as advertising images that are almost superficial and stereotypical, or as quasiprimitive masks that, beyond their aesthetic quality (which is only attributed to them subsequently, or which they never attain), live from the intensity of the phantasms or exorcisms they induce. Just like masks, these images perform a kind of exorcism on our society." The images are followed by a biography of the artist and a bibliography.
