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.

More quotes by 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
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 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
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've always been very tied to language.
Barbara Kruger
You want it, you buy it, you forget it.
Barbara Kruger
I've always thought that it's good to watch the news to find out what everybody else is looking at and believing, if only because that's how consensus is constructed.
Barbara Kruger
All violence is the illustration of a pathetic stereotype.
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 are so many moments and works that influence us in what we do. Movies, music, TV and, most importantly, the profound everydayness of our lives.
Barbara Kruger
But I really resist categories – that naming is a closing down of meaning. Women's art, political art – those categorisations perpetuate a certain kind of marginality which I'm resistant to. But I absolutely define myself as a feminist.
Barbara Kruger
I had to figure out how to bring the world into my work.
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 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
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
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 think pictures and words have the power to make us rich or poor.
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
I think people have to set up little battles. They have to demonize people whom they disagree with or feel threatened by. But it's the ideological framing of the debate that scares me.
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
