Here is a VERY RARE, vintage T-Shirt from artist JENNY HOLZER



THIS T-SHIRT CAME FROM THE MUSEUM of CONTEMPORARY ART, Chicago, IL "JENNY HOLZER'S TRUISMS"



A truism is a claim that is so obvious or self evident as to be hardly worth mentioning, except as a reminder or as a rhetorical or literary device.



Jenny Holzer (born 1950 in Gallipolis, Ohio) is an American conceptual artist. Holzer was originally an abstract artist, focusing on painting and printmaking, but after moving to New York City in 1977, she began working with text as art. The main focus of her work is the use of words and ideas in public space. Street posters are her favorite medium, and she also makes use of a variety of other media, including LED signs, plaques, benches, stickers, T-shirts, and the Internet.



This T-Shirt is in lightly worn condition for its age--a little bit of lightly faded black with just a little more fading at the seams and the neck band. The shirt measures just about 24 inches across the chest measured under the arms and from the back of the neck band to the bottom hem is 29 inches. On the left sleeve is silk-screened in TINY letters: Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Artist: Jenny Holzer. I've had the shirt for a long time. (I believe that the show that sold this T-Shirt in the gift shop was 1987.)



The shirt is 100% cotton and has become very soft. Normally I try and find T-Shirts in the best condition possible, but THIS T-Shirt is so rare that I'm sure you'll understand the fact that it has been worn occasionally for the last few decades....with love and appreciation. PERFECT for FRAMING!



SOME of the about 50 written 'TRUISMS' on the front of the shirt read....
