Barbara Kruger’s work is renowned for its sharpness, wit, and distinctive style. It delves into the power of words and images and examines themes of consumerism, class, corruption, and control. Her voice and aesthetic have impacted popular visual culture for more than 40 years, surpassing the boundaries of the art world.

The artist’s latest text-based wall pieces and vinyl series converse with a collection of ‘paste-ups,’ which are 1980s collages that reference some of her earliest and most well-known pieces. These remarkable works are on view at the beautiful Sprüth Magers gallery in London.

The pieces from the show perfectly capture Kruger’s ability to constantly probe how we disclose ourselves to one other and to the civilizations that create and confine us.

On the gallery’s first floor, fourteen of Kruger’s famed paste-ups are on display. Money and its corruptible power, a dominant leitmotif in her oeuvre, manifests itself throughout the present selection. It’s the continuation of Serpentine’s fantastic show presented earlier this year at Kensington Gardens and The Outernet in central London.
