Barbara Kruger: Pictures/Readings

Picture/Readings

     Her passion for abstract photography and captions led to the book she published "Picture/Readings" in 1978 which includes a collection of her works. The photographs were primarily taken in California and Florida from the perspective of anyone passing by, and included dramatic scenes reflecting her feminist conscience. The description that goes with each image is a short story about a women and the experience she is going through according to the image.The photographs rarely include indication of location and primarily focus on objects such as windows, corners, and roofs. The work was exhibited in the Mary Boone Gallery from November 1, 2007 up until December 22, 2007.
