Where it came from
Published in 1998 by Phaidon Press, this monograph on Jenny Holzer was created as part of the publisher’s Contemporary Artists series. These books were conceived to provide accessible, comprehensive surveys of the most significant figures in late 20th-century art, combining scholarly analysis with high-quality visual documentation to trace the evolution of an artist's career from their early projects to their international exhibitions.
The volume features an essay by art historian David Joselit, who examines Holzer’s unique intersection of language, public space, and media. Joselit explores how Holzer’s signature use of Truisms and LED displays transformed political and social messaging into immersive environmental art. Upon its release, the book was received as a definitive introduction to her practice, praised for its clear curation of her ephemeral installations and its ability to contextualize her work within the broader discourse of conceptual and postmodern art.
