Jenny Holzer, an acclaimed neo-conceptual artist, has devoted her career to the exploration of words and ideas in public spaces. Her creative oeuvre spans large-scale installations, advertising billboards, projections on buildings, and illuminated electronic displays. With feminism at the heart of her artistry, Holzer was an integral part of the feminist wave of artists that emerged around 1980. She also actively contributed to the artist collective Colab and participated in the groundbreaking Times Square Show. Her work is often presented in public spaces and encompasses a wide range of heavy subjects, such as sexual assault against women, sexism, violence, oppression, and war.

Among her varied body of work, some of her notable pieces include Truisms, Living series, Inflammatory Essays, Survival series, Laments, and Lustmord series. Her work has graced the halls of prestigious institutions such as the Whitney Independent Study Program, London's Institute of Contemporary Arts, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Venice Biennale, where she won the Leone D'Oro for best pavilion. Her Lustmord series, a poignant commentary on the Bosnian War, features poems from the perspectives of victims, observers, and perpetrators. Holzer has also used texts by renowned authors such as Wislawa Szymborska, Henri Cole, Elfriede Jelinek, and Mahmoud Darwish in her work.

Over the course of her career, Holzer has consistently exposed hidden truths through her artistry. Her work delves deep into government documents, including redacted documents and declassified U.S. Army documents from the war in Iraq. She has also been involved in public art installations, like the creation of the New York City AIDS Memorial, and has collaborated with other artists, such as Leonard Cohen and Kiki Smith. Holzer's contributions to the art world have not gone unnoticed. She has received several awards and honors, including the MOCA Award to Distinguished Women in the Arts and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Ceremonial Exhibition. Her work continues to inspire, provoke, and enlighten audiences around the world.
