Jenny Holzer | Let Me Stand






Jenny Holzer
Let Me Stand
San Jose, USA: Artists Band Together, 2020
74 x 76 cm.
Edition size unknown


Let Me Stand is an embroidered bandana designed by Jenny Holzer for Artists Band Together, a project organized by Shepard Fairey in the run up to the 2020 elections. Fairey and Holzer both produced bandanas, as did Marilyn Minter, Juliana Huxtable, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Barbara Kruger, Hank Willis Thomas and Christine Sun Kim.

The group partnered with Ebay to sell the works, with 100% of the proceeds supporting programs that educated, registered, and mobilized voters.

“This project is rooted in the history of bandanas as symbols of unity. From the abolitionist movement to Rosie the Riveter, bandanas have been wearable markers of alliance and action,” said Nora Halpern, one of the curators of the project. 

In September, Holzer’s bandana was up for auction with an estimated value of between $700 and $900 US dollars. However, it can still be purchased as Mass MoCA, here, for $30.00.
