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.
