Artwork

Jenny Holzer (born July 29, 1950) is an American neo-conceptual artist, based in Hoosick, New York. The main focus of her work is the delivery of words and ideas in public spaces and includes large-scale installations, advertising billboards, projections on buildings and other structures, and illuminated electronic displays.

Holzer belongs to the feminist branch of a generation of artists that emerged around 1980, and was an active member of Colab during this time, participating in the famous The Times Square Show.

Holzer’s work can be found in Minneapolis Sculpture Garden; Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst in Aachen, Germany; the University of California, San Diego; Wanås Castle in Knislinge, Sweden among many others.
