HOLZER, JENNY
1950 Gallipolis, OH/USA
Title: Series of 6 Works on Paper.
Water board 0000090, TOP SECRET 23, TOP SECRET 24, TOP SECRET 32, These enhanced
techniques and Enhanced Techniques 3. 2012. Each handmade sheets, 2-layers couched, with
stencil-reservage-technique. Each 90,5 x 70cm. Signed (verso). Griffelkunst-Vereinigung
Hamburg e.V. (publisher).
Condition:
All sheets are in very good codnition.
Each with typographical information on the work and publisher verso. Here, the artist denounces a scandal that became known from media reports that American soldiers had used the internationally outlawed torture method of "waterboarding" during the Gulf Wars. For the work, Jenny Holzer used the released, enlarged original documents of the CIA in which the torture method is on record. Holzer blacked out the text blocks except for key words. The works were created extremely elaborately, as each motif was scooped from two different types of paper. Even the writing is not printed, but scooped into shape. Therefore, each work is unique.
Literature:
- Rüggeberg, Harald (ed.): Griffelkunst - Verzeichnis der Editionen (2010-2020), Volume IV, Hamburg 2011, no. 345/346 P7-P12.
