BiographyJenny Holzer is an American Conceptual artist whose practice centers on the public display of provocative text—from inflammatory political slogans to declassified government documents—using LED signs, posters, T-shirts, stone benches, and projections onto buildings and landscapes. Her Truisms series (begun in 1977), with aphorisms like "Abuse of Power Comes as No Surprise," established her as a leading voice in language-based art. She was the first woman to represent the United States at the Venice Biennale's main exhibition in 1990.
