Kruger Covers Lever House

Artist Barbara Kruger has taken over the lobby at Lever House (390 Park Avenue) with what Animal calls a "dizzying display... reminiscent of the illegal ads covering vacant storefronts around the city, every surface from floor to ceiling is covered with Kruger’s bold black and white vinyl slogans." Andrew Russeth at 16 Miles paid a visit and has some great photos of the installation. While it looks amazing, it could be a little depressing for those working in the building to push their way, every day, through revolving metal doors that shout "We Forget. Another Life. Another Love."

    Thanks. Stumbled onto this the other day and thought it was Kruger, although I couldn't find any kind of display sign. You are right, it is a bit jarring to walk through.
