Jenny Holzer (born July 29, 1950) is an American neo-conceptual artist based in Hoosick Falls, New York.
Holzer's primary focus is the delivery of words and thoughts in public spaces, who came from a generation of artists who emerged around 1980, looking for new ways to make narrative or commentary an implicit part of visual representations.
Barbara Kruger, Cindy Sherman, Sarah Charlesworth, and Louise Lawler are among her contemporaries.
Advertising billboards, plans for buildings and other architectural features, as well as illuminated electronic displays were among her large-scale installations.
LED signs have become her most prominent medium, though her diverse media mix includes street posters, painted signs, stone benches, paintings, photographs, video, broadcasting, and a BMW race car.
Since 1996, text-based light projections have been integral to Holzer's practice.
Her LED signs have gotten more sculptural as of 2010.
Holzer is no longer the author of her books, and in the ensuing years, she returned to her roots by painting.
Early life and education
Holzer was born in Gallipolis, Ohio, on July 29, 1950. She began preparing for a bachelor's degree at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina (1968-1970), later painting, printmaking, and drawing at the University of Chicago before finishing her BFA at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio (1972). Holzer began attending summer classes at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1974 and 1975, and began a MFA program. She moved to Manhattan in 1976, began the Whitney Museum's free study program, and began her first work with language, installation, and public art. She has also been an active member of Colab, an experimental group of artists.
Personal life
In the early 1980s, Holzer bought a farm in Hoosick, New York. On Eldridge Street in Manhattan, she began dividing her hours between there and a loft. She sold the apartment in the late 1990s but still has a Brooklyn studio. Alice Neel, Kiki Smith, Nancy Spero, and Louise Bourgeois are among her private art collections.
