Introduction
Barbara Kruger (born January 26, 1945) is an American conceptual artist and collagist associated with The Pictures Generation.

The phrases in her works often include pronouns such as "you", "your", "I", "we", and "they", addressing cultural constructions of power, identity, consumerism, and sexuality. Kruger lives and works in New York and Los Angeles. Kruger is a Distinguished Professor of New Genres at the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture.
