Mini Electric LED Sign with Diodes in Colors // Truism 4 (Mother & Child) by Jenny Holzer, created in 1990, is a mixed media sculpture that utilizes a mini electric LED sign with colored diodes. The LED grid, composed of yellow lights arranged in columns against a dark background, carries Holzer’s typical exploration of language, communication, and societal commentary. The compact format (10.2 x 12.1 x 3.8 cm) focuses the viewer's attention on the repetition and rhythm of light patterns, evoking both the technological precision and emotional resonance Holzer often embeds in her works. The minimalist black frame emphasizes the bright, methodical LED display, inviting reflection on the theme of motherhood within the broader context of Holzer’s provocative art.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
