Tate Liverpool presents a major new Tate collection acquisition by Barbara Kruger (born 1945). Kruger’s 1991/2012 work Who Owns What will form an important part of Tate Liverpool’s new collection displays DLA Piper Series: Constellations. The work combines photography and text to interrogate doubt, control, power, affection, contempt, owning, not owning, buying and selling.
DLA Piper Series: Constellations explores the impact of major works from the Tate collection on art history by placing them at the heart of nine ‘constellations’ of artworks, creating narratives between the works. The constellation centering around Kruger’s Who Owns What will include film, photographic and sculptural works by Jack Goldstein, Louise Lawler, Robert Longo, Henrik Olesen, Mark Leckey and John Smith.
