Addressing oppression, gender, sexuality, power, and war, Holzer’s Truisms challenge expectations and prejudices by presenting authoritative-seeming statements that reveal questions and contradictions upon closer inspection. The text selected for the print, ‘ALL THINGS ARE DELICATELY INTERCONNECTED’, has been utilized in Holzer’s work since the late 1970s and early 1980s, where her Truisms were seen on an electronic signboard above Times Square. On Earth Day 2020, the statement adeptly provokes reflection on the pressing demands of a global pandemic as well as the continuing climate crisis. Through her distinctive use of language, Holzer’s work continues to wield art as a powerful force for reflection and change.

Under the umbrella of Hauser & Wirth’s new global philanthropic and charitable initiative #artforbetter, Hauser & Wirth and Jenny Holzer will donate the proceeds of sales of the print to two causes: the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization, and Art for Acres.
