In time for Moderna Museet’s 50th anniversary in 2008, a new work by the American artist Barbara Kruger was installed in the museum entrance areas.
The work consists of three large, wallmounted collages: two in the main entrance and one in the entrance facing the water, as well as two embellished pillars in the main entrance. Barbara Kruger has worked in the style for which she has become famous – the colours red and white dominate, blackand- white photos and text interact in an indivisible unity. Barbara Kruger mixes her own words with quotes from writers such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Mary McCarthy and Roland Barthes.
The work will be shown for three or four years before it is replaced by another artist’s work.
Curator: Camilla Carlberg
