Barbara Kruger, Untitled (Kiss), 2019

Untitled (Kiss), 2019, is a hand-numbered stool created by Barbara Kruger in collaboration with Artek. This work features Kruger's signature bold typography and confrontational messaging applied to a functional design object. Each stool is crafted from solid birch and birch plywood with a laminate surface treatment, combining fine craftsmanship with conceptual art.

This piece represents Kruger's exploration beyond traditional art mediums into the realm of design and everyday objects, continuing her practice of inserting critical messages into the spaces of daily life. The stool was produced in a limited edition of 600, with each piece hand-numbered and finished on the underside with the artist's stamp of authenticity.

All works are accompanied by a gallery-issued Certificate of Authenticity and undergo a multi-step authentication review prior to placement.
