Barbara Kruger: Pre-Digital, 1980–1992 at Skarstedt Gallery in New York, NY. "...These works, professionally known as 'paste-ups,' share a methodology derived from Kruger's experience as an editorial designer at various magazines. However, the meanings they create are worlds away from the decorative delusions that fill the magazines. Her ability to construct powerful messages using an inherently commercial technique focuses attention on how images and words have the power to make meaning: to construct who we are and who we want to be."
