Money Talks

It's "Business as Usual" in Kruger-land, and the artist's familiar text and found image montages still deliver a stinging punch. Her appropriated photographs and provocative text works, with their confrontational graphic content reminiscent of Dada collage and photomontage, address cultural representations of power, identity and sexuality in the most charged of visual languages. Though the work collected here was made in the 1980s, it has unfortunately not lost any of its relevance: big business continues to rule the world and money still talks. Money Talksis the first publication to bring together a thematic grouping of Kruger's work, and the subject chosen could not be more apt, not only because of current politics and economic realities, but also because this is the subject Kruger has repeatedly returned to throughout her career.Kruger, Barbara is the author of 'Money Talks ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780970909046 and ISBN 0970909047.
