    Cindy Sherman has assumed countless roles over the course of her 35-

    year career, becoming recognized in the process as one of the most

    important and influential figures in contemporary art. Mining a limitless

    supply of images from movies, TV, magazines, the Internet, and art

    history, she captures herself in an astounding range of guises and

    personasfrom screen siren to clown to aging socialitein work that is

    by turns amusing and disturbing, distasteful and affecting. Besides model

    and photographer, she also acts as makeup artist, hairdresser, stylist, and

    wardrobe mistress, working with an arsenal of wigs, costumes,

    prosthetics, and props in creating her work. The resulting images offer a

    sustained, eloquent, and provocative exploration ofthe construction of

    contemporary identity and the nature of representation.

    Featuring some 160 photographs, the exhibition Cindy Sherman

    traces the artists career from the mid-1970s to the present and covers

    dominant themes such as artifice and fiction; cinema and performance;

    gender and class; horror and the grotesque; and myth, carnival, and fairytale. As her first retrospective in a US museum in 15years, the show

    features in-depth selections from her key series, including the

    groundbreaking Untitled Film Stills (19771980); the ornate history

    portraits (19881990); the larger-than-life society portraits (2008); and an

    example from her newest series of photographic murals (2010).

    A major catalogue accompanies the exhibition.
