Holzer-isms: Artist鈥檚 Edition presents a selection of artist Jenny Holzer鈥檚 Truisms (1977鈥�79)鈥攕ubtly subversive declarations such as ABUSE OF POWER COMES AS NO SURPRISE鈥攐n six foldout posters designed by the artist.
Important and influential works of word-art, Truisms are single-sentence statements resembling existing aphorisms, maxims, and clich茅s. By distilling difficult and contentious ideas into seemingly straightforward statements of fact, they examine the social construction of beliefs, mores, and truths. First displayed on anonymous street posters pasted throughout downtown Manhattan, they have since appeared on T-shirts, hats, electronic signs, stone floors, and benches.
The stunning posters in Holzer-isms: Artist鈥檚 Edition come in a special cloth-covered, foil-stamped box, which also features a booklet containing an introduction to Truisms, a biography of Holzer, and a brief chronology of her career. The result is a unique way to experience Holzer鈥檚 powerful and provocative word-based art.

- Six 21.5鈥� wide 脳 31.5鈥� high (55 cm 脳 80 cm) foldout posters
- A booklet featuring an introduction, a biography of Holzer, and a brief chronology of her career
