Additional Information

A black long-sleeved T-shirt embroidered with the words PROTECT ME FROM WHAT I WANT, one of Jenny Holzer's iconic aphorisms from her Survival series, in silver script down the length of one sleeve.

Holzer's Survival series was written for display on electronic signs, notably in New York’s Times Square in 1986. Each cautionary sentence instructs, informs, or questions the ways an individual responds to political, social, physical, psychological and personal environments.

Designed for Tate by Jenny Holzer, our exclusive collection carries her unmistakeable voice and puts sustainability at the forefront of its design.

Rizza Boo was commissioned to create the lettering for the long-sleeved top in her unique script style. Charissa Gregson, aka Rizza Boo, is a Glasgow-based tattoo artist with over 15 years of experience. Previously she was the lead artist for the National Maritime Museum’s exhibition British Tattoo Art: Reclaiming the Narrative, a celebration of contemporary tattoo art on Black and brown skin. She is also the founder of Shades Tattoo Initiative – a safe space to build community and showcase the work of Black and POC tattoo artists working in the UK.

Jenny Holzer is donating all proceeds from her Tate collection to help more people experience and engage with art.

Machine washable, the t-shirt is made by Arches Global in Portugal from organic cotton sourced through Chetna Organic India, and dyed using PVC- and phthalate-free dyes. Pre-shrunk, it’s made to last.

About the artist

American artist Jenny Holzer has been creating provocative and poetic statements for more than 40 years. Whether encountered on city streets or in art galleries, Jenny Holzer's work asks us to consider the words and messages that surround us. Her art takes many forms, including stone benches, projections, signs, posters, paintings, plaques and textiles.

Holzer’s relationship with Tate includes ARTIST ROOMS: Jenny Holzer, 2018, and her striking light projection on Tate Modern’s chimney in 2021, created to draw attention to the climate emergency. More recently, four of her engraved marble benches were on display at Tate Modern as part of the exhibition ARTIST ROOMS: Art and Text.
