About Jenny Holzer
Jenny Holzer (*1950 in Gallipolis, USA) is an American conceptual and installation artist. Holzer studied at the Rhode Island School of Design in New York.
The "Truisms", a series of one-liners in the form of anonymous posters on buildings, walls and fences in Lower Manhattan in 1977-79, are considered Jenny Holzer's best-known artistic work in public space. Later, Holzer also distributed the Truisms via other media, such as LED light strips, benches, stickers and T-shirts, and her work focuses on the use of text and the use of public space as an exhibition space.
At the 44th Venice Biennale in 1990, her installation "Mother and Child" was awarded the Golden Lion. Her works have been exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, among others.
Contemporary art created from objects that are not normally considered materials from which art is made.
Object art was a means of expression of Cubism, Dadaism and Surrealism, and in the course of their development to the present day had spawned various presentation techniques.
A plastic work of sculptural art made of wood, stone, ivory, bronze or other metals.
While sculptures from wood, ivory or stone are made directly from the block of material, in bronze casting a working model is prepared at first. Usually, it is made of clay or other easily mouldable materials.
The prime time of sculpture after the Greek and Roman antiquity was the Renaissance. Impressionism gave a new impulse to the sculptural arts. Contemporary artists such as Jorg Immendorf, Andora, and Markus Lupertz also enriched sculptures with outstanding works.
