Jenny Holzer has been at the forefront of American art since the early 1980s, and since winning first prize at the 1990 Venice Biennale her fame has spread worldwide. This book spans her entire career, with additional texts, including all of the artist's writings, and new color photos of recent works. 175 photos, 150 in color.

Featuring a collection of Jenny Holzer's influential Truisms from 1977-79, this artist's edition includes six foldout posters showcasing her striking declarations, like "ABUSE OF POWER COMES AS NO SURPRISE." Designed by Holzer herself, this boxed set presents a distinctive format for engaging with her impactful word-based art, allowing for a deeper exploration of her subtly subversive messages.

This revised and greatly expanded edition of the book originally published on the occasion of Holzer's celebrated exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1989 is a comprehensive document of the artist's career. A complete collection of the artist's writings, up to and including her 1996 text for a monument in Erlauf, Austria, is accompanied by color photography of the entire range of Holzer's installations and projects.
