American contemporary artist Jenny Holzer’s major solo exhibition Jenny Holzer: Light Line is currently on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, USA. Simultaneously encompassing 40 years of her practice and realizing a perspective of continuation, the exhibition is her first institutional solo exhibition in 15 years since showing at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York in 2009. Holzer’s career-spanning works which cover various mediums harmonize exceptionally with Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic architecture, providing an immersive and holistic experience to the visitors. 

The exhibition marks Holzer’s grand return to Guggenheim since 1989. In particular, this exhibition features a new manifestation of her signature text work Untitled (Selections from Truisms, Inflammatory Essays, The Living Series, The Survival Series, Under a Rock, Laments, and Child Text (1989), climbing up all six ramps of the building towards the oculus in the museum’s rotunda. 35 years after the work’s first presentation, it has been restored and updated through the latest digital technologies.

Jenny Holzer: Light Line also provides a comprehensive selection of Holzer’s works from the 1970s to the present day, including paintings, works on paper, plaques, and stone pieces. Moving beyond an archival purpose, the exhibition underscores the enduring power of language that transcends time.
