More quotes by Barbara Kruger

Barbara Kruger
You make history when you do business.
Barbara Kruger
I had to figure out how to bring the world into my work.
Barbara Kruger
Photography has saturated us as spectators from its inception amidst a mingling of laboratorial pursuits and magic acts to its current status as propagator of convention, cultural commodity, and global hobby.
Barbara Kruger
What I'm trying to do is create moments of recognition.
Barbara Kruger
Do you know why language manifests itself the way it does in my work? It's because I understand short attention spans.
Barbara Kruger

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
I remember going into galleries and seeing this thing called conceptual art, and I understand people’s marginalization from what the art subculture is because if you haven’t crashed the codes, and if you don’t know what it is, you feel it’s a conspiracy against your unintelligence. You feel it’s fraud.
Barbara Kruger
I try to deal with the complexities of power and social life, but as far as the visual presentation goes I purposely avoid a high degree of difficulty.
Barbara Kruger
I'm an artist who works with pictures and words. Sometimes that stuff ends up in different kinds of sites and contexts which determine what it means and looks like.
Barbara Kruger
Warhol's images made sense to me, although I knew nothing at the time of his background in commercial art. To be honest, I didn't think about him a hell of a lot.
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
I think what I'm trying to do is create moments of recognition. To try to detonate some kind of feeling or understanding of lived experience.
Barbara Kruger
I don't necessarily think that installation is the only way to go. It's just a label for certain kinds of arrangements.
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.
