NAME: Barbara Kruger
PROFESSION: Conceptual Artist
NATIONALITY: American
OFFICIAL WEBSITE: http://www.barbarakruger.com
One of the (if not thee) most well known and respected conceptual artists of all time. Her incredibly distinct pieces and her colossal installations (namely the Frankfurt shopping department) are evident that text is a powerful thing. She disputes being called a political artist, instead she prefers just being seen as an artist with something to say. Even though her play on George Bush "Life for the unborn, death for the unborn" is my favourite piece from her, I chose her best known piece. "Your body is a battle ground", a commentary on a woman's right to choose.
