Marking(s); notes: one signed; 1979-1981
Materials: lithographs on colored paper
Dimensions (H, W, D): 17"h, 17"w each (works are not framed)
Additional Information: "Originally presented anonymously on the streets of New York City, the mass-produced short texts that make up Inflammatory Essays cover a variety of subjects that have been ongoing concerns throughout Holzer's career, including power, social control, abuse, consumption, and sex. Declarative and forceful in tone, they embody her distinctively crafted voice, one that is omniscient, detached, and yet enraged, shifting between multiple identities."
