Jenny Holzer Biography

Jenny Holzer has been exhibiting her purgative ideas, arguments, and sorrows in public places and international exhibitions for more than 30 years, including the 7 World Trade Center, the Reichstag, the Venice Biennale, the Guggenheim Museums in New York and Bilbao, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Writing is her medium, whether it takes the shape of a T-shirt, a plaque, or an LED sign, and the public dimension is crucial to the delivery of her work. Her practice has matched ignorance and violence with comedy, compassion, and moral fortitude, beginning with the New York City posters in the 1970s and continuing with her latest light projections on landscape and architecture. Holzer was awarded the Leone d'Oro at the Venice Biennale in 1990 and the World Economic Forum's Crystal Award in 1996. Ohio University, Williams College, the Rhode Island School of Design, The New School, and Smith College have all given her honorary degrees. In 2011, she was awarded the Barnard Medal of Distinction. Holzer is a New York-based artist.
