She attended Syracuse University in New York and continued her training in 1966 at New York City's Parsons School of Design. During her career, she moved from a concentration on soft sculpture to painting to photography. Her large-scale photographic works appropriate anonymous cultural images and text and juxtapose them in unexpected ways; the resultant pieces have the effect of questioning accepted beliefs. In Untitled (Your Body is a Battleground) (1989), for example, Kruger employed an oversized image of a model's face and divided it into a number of sections. Placed across the image is the phrase "your body is a battleground," by which Kruger calls into question the objectification of women and also calls to mind the ongoing struggle for women's reproductive rights.
