Living Series (Set of 4 Screenprints).
Lyon: Le Nouveau Musée,With a certain humor, these two artists secretly practice a committed art, which could easily join graffiti, but in a much more underground, subtle, pernicious and impactful way.the installation in the Press Club room of four-color posters in tribute to Mondrian and Barnett Newman, and the installation of a plaque at the foot of invitation posters 1981. Complete set of 4 screenprint posters (23.5 x 15.75 inches), issuing from Jenny Holzer's first European campaign. In collaboration with Peter Nadin—her colleague in The Offices—Holzer continued to explore the pseudo-authority of her Living cycle; combining her anxious texts with a rotating selection of Nadin's simplified drawings. This colorful series of four screenprints was pasted within the Press Room of Lyon's New Museum, as well as in the crowded streets of the city's election campaign; these French permutations of image/text differing from those published in the duo's artist's book Eating through Living (1981). This set preserved in remarkably fine condition. Scarce, with no OCLC records located.
