Jenny Holzer

Truisms & Survival 

Wooden Postcards. 10 x 15 cm. Unlimited edition.

2002, 2010, ongoing.

Collectible wooden postcards featuring statements by Jenny Holzer, drawn from her seminal Truisms and Survival series. Each postcard presents a bold red or black text on one side, with space on the reverse for an address, stamp, and personal message.

First begun in 1977, Holzer’s Truisms are aphorisms that range from poetic to provocative, questioning power, belief, and language in public space. Produced as postcards, these texts become intimate objects designed to be held, displayed, or sent through the mail.

A concise conceptual work and a striking gift.
