- Used Book in Good Condition
Published to accompany the first major survey of Cindy Shermanâ€™s work in the United States in nearly 15 years, this publication presents a stunning range of work from the groundbreaking artistâ€™s 35-year career. Showcasing approximately 180 photographs from the mid-1970s to the present, including new works made for the exhibition and never before published, the volume is a vivid exploration of Shermanâ€™s sustained investigation into the construction of contemporary identity and the nature of representation. The book highlights major bodies of work including her seminal Untitled Film Stills (1977â€“80); centerfolds (1981); history portraits (1989â€“90); head shots (2000â€“2002); and two recent series on the experience and representation of aging in the context of contemporary obsessions with youth and status. An essay by curator Eva Respini provides an overview of Shermanâ€™s career, weaving together art historical analysis and discussions of the artistâ€™s working methods, and a contribution by art historian Johanna Burton offers a critical re-examination of Shermanâ€™s work in light of her recent series. A conversation between Cindy Sherman and filmmaker John Waters provides an enlightening view into the creative process.
Cindy Sherman (born 1954) is widely recognized as one of the most important and influential artists in contemporary art. To create her photographs, she assumes multiple roles of photographer, model, makeup artist, hairdresser and stylist. With an arsenal of wigs, costumes, makeup, prosthetics and props, the artist has altered her physique and surroundings to create myriad tableaux, from screen siren to clown to aging socialite. Over the past 35 years, Sherman has sustained a provocative investigation into the nature of identity, drawn from movies, television, magazines, the Internet and art history. Sherman lives and works in New York City.
