JENNY HOLZER

Posted on 2010-03-01

Jenny Holzer is one of the most acclaimed artists working today . In the 1970s she began to use text as art, creating provocative writings displayed and distributed through means akin to the mass media – on fly posts, T-shirts and, in 1982, an LED billboard in New York’s Times Square.
