Jenny Holzer (1950). "THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR WILL BE SECRET". Of the sought-after 25 limited edition TRUISM-lithographs made by American artist JENNY HOLZER. Published by Printed Matter (NYC) in 1992. Printed by Derriere L'Etoile Studios (New York) on fragile sheets of archival silver metallic woven paper. Edition of 250 copies (with only one copy signed by the artist). Size: 12,5 x 7,5 cm. Perfect. Our 3D assembly (made by professors and Fine Arts graduates from Madrid) incorporates Holzer's "message" with silver letters on cardboard base (with a metallic effect). Framed (deep-box) with glass: 31,5 x 22,5 x 3.5 cm. Holzer suggests that modern armed conflicts do not begin with clear public declarations, but rather through hidden decisions, surveillance, and covert operations that the public only perceives once they are already underway. Holzer's antimilitarist commitment is undeniable in works such as "Redaction Paintings" (using declassified US government documents on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, visually highlighting the "silence" and concealment of the truth), "There Was a War" (an LED installation showing testimonies of the Syrian civil war and its impact on refugees, collected by Human Rights Watch and Save the Children), and "Laments" (projections and installations that integrate texts addressing grief, intimacy, disappearance, and memory). __________________________________ Professional packaging with all security measures.
