About The Work

Untitled (Don't...), 2023, exemplifies Kruger’s continued innovation and boldness. The piece features an illustration of a face appearing to suffocate or cough, with crossed eyes and a tongue lolling from its open mouth. This imagery echoes the figure displayed above a doorway in Thinking of You. I Mean Me. I Mean You. (2022-2023), Kruger's monumental site-specific installation at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Overlaying the face with the inscription "DON'T AGREE / DON'T REPLY / DON'T SETTLE / DON'T SUBMIT," Kruger uses vertical black stripes that resemble jail bars, further emphasizing her critical message. This work, notable for its use of illustrated rather than photographic imagery, represents a new direction in Kruger’s oeuvre, incorporating elements from technology and mass media — such as comics, television cartoons, and digital clip art — to deliver her incisive commentary on contemporary existence.
