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’s 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’s powerful and provocative word-based art.Holzer-isms contains:Six 21.5” wide × 31.5” high (55 cm × 80 cm) foldout postersA booklet featuring an introduction, a biography of Holzer, and a brief chronology of her careerLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 133mmItem Length: 108mmAuthor: Jenny HolzerContributor: Larry Warsh (Edited by)Genre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, Arts & Photography, Society & CultureBook Series: ISMsRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
