Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present a solo exhibition focused on Jenny Holzer's works on paper, the artist's first show at Sprüth Magers' New York gallery. Holzer's stonework drawings, which were used to set the text for her benches and sarcophagi, offer a glimpse into the artist's process, in part through her handwritten notations. Also on view will be tracings of documents from federal agency reports, investigations, military and intelligence operations, and other sources. While these tracings began as process drawings for Holzer's Redaction Paintings, some have become artworks, with gestural marks in graphite and charcoal adding layers of interest to the artist's use of material and language. Here are fingerprints.
