Barbara Kruger is an American conceptual artist and collagist associated with the Pictures Generation. She is recognized for her iconic collaged black-and-white photographs, overlaid with declarative captions. These phrases paired with such pronouns as “you,” “your, “I,” “we,” and “they,” address cultural constructions of power, identity, consumerism, and sexuality. Kruger utilizies mass communication and advertising techniques to explore these issues and is aligned with with such feminist post modern artists as Jenny Holzer and Sherrie Levine who implement similar techniques.

Revenge publishing? A new genre? Or has it been around since writers first put pen to paper? Isn’t all writing to some degree a means to avenge an oversight or a rejection, intending to set the record straight? A number of pieces in this collection which were commissioned, accepted, and paid for, never appeared for one reason or another, whether devious or common: books don’t always cross the finish line. Years go by. Patience evaporates. Corrected Proofs aims to seek remedy. In addition to previously unpublished pieces, a number of essays and interviews were written specially for this collection: on Lutz Bacher and Charles Ray, with Arnold J. Kemp. There are heroes and villains, from the assassins John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald, to Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Cady Noland and Steven Parrino. Here the reader encounters usual suspects in unexpected context—Marcel Duchamp, Ed Ruscha and Andy Warhol—and artists recently rediscovered—Bob Smith and Stephen Varble—alongside Lee Lozano, the January 6 insurrection, and The Fall.
