“It would be kind of good if my work became archaic,” Barbara Kruger once said. Unfortunately, it’s now more relevant than ever.
That latter exhibition also has another important abortion rights graphic designed by Kruger. Created in 1986, it shows a negative image of a woman’s face on which is superimposed a block of all-caps text that reads: “HOW COME ONLY THE UNBORN HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIFE?”Barbara Kruger, “Untitled ,” 1986 — from an exhibition of the artist’s early paste-ups at Sprüth Magers in Los Angeles.
“Untitled ” also remains relevant politically: regularly resurfacing as an impactful rallying cry when the autonomy women hold over their bodies is called into question — hence its rapid materialization on social media on Monday night. Now we find ourselves in a moment in which a majority of Americans support the right to abortion — yet a very vocal minority seeks to deny it.
