About

Jenny Holzer’s work is defined by her use of text. Whether questioning, describing, or lamenting a specific object or theme, her work’s true purpose is to agitate and disturb its audience at the core – a technique particularly effective when displayed in public spaces and mistaken for an advertisement. For this collaboration, it is not one of Jenny Holzer’s famous truisms that is put forward however, but a text selection by the artist from Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself” – the very same work selected for Jenny Holzer’s contribution to the NYC AIDS Memorial. Artist initials engraved on this limited edition.

The Artist

Jenny Holzer

Jenny Holzer (b. 1950, Gallipolis, Ohio) is an American conceptual artist whose groundbreaking practice places language at the center of public life. Since the late 1970s, she has presented original and appropriated texts through posters, LED signs, projections, paintings, plaques, and public installations, transforming everyday spaces into platforms for reflection and debate.

Holzer’s incisive texts address power, violence, war, inequality, sexuality, and human rights, often challenging audiences to reconsider the messages and assumptions that surround them. Her work has been presented at major institutions and international exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale, Tate Modern, the Guggenheim museums, and the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
