Description |
Questions, untitled, Los Angeles, 1990. Temporary Contemporary, Central Avenue and 1st Street, Los Angeles. "Museum of Contemporary Art's Temporary Contemporary, a former warehouse in Little Tokyo, south wall. The upper left corner is a blue rectangle with white letters that announce: 'MOCA at the Temporary Contemporary.' The remainder is a red field whose sentences divide the expanse into visual strips. Kruger's mural poses nine direct questions: Who is beyond the law? Who is bought and sold? Who is free to choose? Who does time? Who follows orders? Who salutes longest? Who prays loudest? Who dies first? Who laughs last?" 29' x 218', red, white and blue mural by Barbara Krueger. Commissioned by Museum of Contemporary Art. -- http://articles.latimes.com/1990-07-04/entertainment/ca-271_1_barbara-kruger-s-artwork; http://www.moca.org/library/archive/exhibition/detail/1990/krugermural. |
