Early in her career Kruger worked as a graphic designer, creating imagery for magazines. Her art continues to speak the language of advertising, and, in addition to appearing in galleries and museums, it can be found on billboards, T–shirts, and shopping bags. This work was commissioned by MoMA for the backs of city buses during a 1996 exhibition on the subject of contemporary printed art.
