Scope and Contents The introduction to this book was written by Hal Foster.Amazon.com Reviews; Library Journal: Bluntly ambiguous and confrontational, Kruger's unmistakable work evokes an urgent desire to examine and get real about the complexity of human experience in the face of reductive politics and consumer culture. She is best known for images that play with the visual language of advertising: Signature red or white banners of text stamped on black-and-white photographs blast viewers with statements like "Your body is a battleground" (over the face of a woman) or "I shop therefore I am" (in a red square held like a credit card in a large hand). These and many other equally provoking works--including her early explorations pairing photographs and text, humorous sculptures, and full-room installations--make up the first comprehensive retrospective of Kruger's work, which opened last October in Los Angeles's Museum of Contemporary Art and will travel to the Whitney in New York later this summer....

As a result, our examples are widely distributed in space and time: the illustrations come from 14 centuries, 16 countries, (Italy and France, especially) 3 planets, and the innumerable stars. From the illustrations, it is difficult to idnetify what place or time this book is from, which is the point."Ad Reinhardt's "How to Look at Modern Art in America" and Mark Lombardi's "Global Networks" depicted in part in this book are held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
