Jenny Holzer

Jenny Holzer first entered the streets surreptitiously, putting up posters that were quickly covered over in the general pell-mell of street advertising. Over the past ten years her work has become "street clothes" appearing on building walls, billboards, movie marquees, wall plaques, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), shopping bags, matchbooks, T-shirts, and baseball caps.
