Additional Information

Contemplate some impactful statements from Jenny Holzer's work Truisms with this set of embossed black pencils.

Each eraser topped pencil features a different Truism:

SOLITUDE IS ENRICHING
WORDS TEND TO BE INADEQUATE
AUTOMATION IS DEADLY
STASIS IS A DREAM STATE

Holzer's Truisms have been displayed in galleries, across billboards, digital signs and even disposable cups. She created nearly 300 of these statements, all expressing different points of view and based on common sayings and clichés.

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

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

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.
