I think I developed language skills to deal with threat. It's the girl thing to do-you know, instead of pulling out a gun.

More quotes by Barbara Kruger
I have frequently said, and I will repeat again, in the manner of any well-meaning seriality, that I'm interested in mixing the ingratiation of wishful thinking with the criticality of knowing better.
Barbara Kruger
I work with pictures and words because they have the ability to determine who we are, what we want to be and what we become.
Barbara Kruger
You want it, you buy it, you forget it.
Barbara Kruger
Architecture is my first love, if you want to talk about what moves me... the ordering of space, the visual pleasure, architecture's power to construct our days and nights.
Barbara Kruger
I'd always been a news junkie, always read lots of newspapers and watched the Sunday morning news shows on TV and felt strongly about issues of power, control, sexuality and race.
Barbara Kruger
There's a moment of recognition. It's that white-light kind of stuff that just works. I love that. And you know it when it happens, whether it's a movie, music, a building, a book.
Barbara Kruger
What I'm trying to do is create moments of recognition.
Barbara Kruger
I just say I'm an artist who works with pictures and words.
Barbara Kruger
You make history when you do business.
Barbara Kruger
I want people to be drawn into the space of the work. And a lot of people are like me in that they have relatively short attention spans. So I shoot for the window of opportunity.
Barbara Kruger
It's really hard for me to use the term 'history' in the singular, because it suggests a reductivist view of how moments and events congeal and reflect the passage of time. I'd rather stick to the pluralness of 'histories' in order to suggest the simultaneity, the parallel forces at work, which produce lived experience.
Barbara Kruger
Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level, as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways.
Barbara Kruger
All violence is the illustration of a pathetic stereotype.
Barbara Kruger
What makes the production of my work so expensive? The whole installation thing - the construction, the objects, the technology. It really adds up.
Barbara Kruger
We are obliged to steal pieces of language, both visual and textual.
Barbara Kruger
I want to speak, show, see, and hear outrageously astute questions and comments. I want to be on the sides of pleasure and laughter and to disrupt the dour certainties of pictures, property, and power.
Barbara Kruger
You know, one of the only times I ever wrote about art was the obituary of Warhol that I did for the Village Voice.
Barbara Kruger
The place of the arts in the classroom is essential in encouraging invention, ambition, and an understanding of the importance and pleasures of living an examined life.
Barbara Kruger
Fashion is everywhere and about everything. It is folly, vanity and the fun of it all. It is disguise, innuendo, and cunning. It is mean, gorgeous and ambitious, and definitely the last word for the next few seconds.
Barbara Kruger
The different aspects of my activity, whether it's writing criticism, or doing visual work that incorporates writing, or teaching, or curating, is all of a single cloth, and I don't make any separation in terms of those practices.
