In looking into Jenny Holzers work the first thing I notice is consistency in presentation and showing the connecting themes in her work. It is a simple white page with black writing and a series of images. Being simple means that it allows the work to stand out, unlike Shrigley who used the site as an extension to his work, Holzer has used the website as a place to present her work, just the same as exhibiting it in a white gallery space.
It works well as text can become overpowered but colour and busyness, Holzer's work are big statements even as thumb nails in this part of the site. She presents this process and series allowing the audience to click on ones they wish to see which then brings up more images of that series or location.
Her about page is formal, third person and it all have a very professional feel to it. And a simple yet straight to the point contact page.
Overall I feel this is a very good website, its very easy to navigate and a clear style. However I feel it may need some more information maybe explaining certain series of works or maybe an archive of interviews and articles to give more information about the work. Simple and one colour scheme is better.
