By distilling difficult and contentious ideas into seemingly straightforward statements of fact, they examine the social construction of beliefs, mores, and truths. First displayed on anonymous street posters pasted throughout downtown Manhattan, they have since appeared on T-shirts, hats, electronic signs, stone floors, and benches. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe stunning posters in \u003ci\u003eHolzer-isms: Artist's Edition\u003c\/i\u003e come in a special cloth-covered, foil-stamped box, which also features a booklet containing an introduction to \u003ci\u003eTruisms\u003c\/i\u003e, a biography of Holzer, and a brief chronology of her career.

Her medium, whether a T-shirt, plaque, or LED sign, is writing, and the public dimension is integral to the work. Starting in the 1970s with her New York City street posters and continuing through her light projections on landscape and architecture, her practice has rivaled ignorance and violence with humor and kindness. \u003cb\u003eLarry Warsh\u003c\/b\u003e has been active in the art world for more than thirty years as a publisher and artist-collaborator.
