Barbara Kruger | I shop therefore I am











Barbara Kruger
I shop therefore I am
Cologne, Germany: Kölnischer Kunstverein, 1990
43.9 x 27.3 x 10.7 cm.
Photolithograph on paper shopping bag.
Edition of 9,000.

Designed as a functional and ephemeral shopping bag, most of these were put to use and did not survive, allowing framed copies to sell for upwards of a thousand dollars at auction, despite the incredibly high edition size.
