Footnote
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Vorwerk invited leading contemporary artists to create a series of carpet designs. Barbara Kruger’s work was produced as part of this ambitious project, alongside designs by Gerhard Richter, David Hockney, Zaha Hadid, and others. Although each was originally planned to be issued in an edition of 100, the series was never fully realised due to financial constraints.
