"Enhances the experience of being with the artist as she moves through her creative process ... It establishes a narrative arc that supersedes any individual image, grouping them serially and grounding the exceptional in a layered process of aesthetic decision-making."

The Brooklyn Rail

"Greatly expands on the exhibition ... Among the best things in the catalogue are five pages of what are presented as diary entries, the first few from 2010, when she’s toying with mock-ups for collaged faces and heads."

"If she’s holding anything back, it’s hard to imagine they’re more disturbing or hilarious than what she’s delivered."

The Artist

CINDY SHERMAN

Cindy Sherman was born in 1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey; she lives and works in New York. Her ground-breaking photographs have interrogated themes around representation and identity in contemporary media for over four decades. Sherman first turned her attention to photography at Buffalo State College, where she studied art in the early 1970s, and came to prominence in the late 1970s with the Pictures Generation group. Utilising prosthetics, theatrical effects, photographic techniques and digital technologies, she has channeled and reconstructed familiar personas known to the collective psyche, often in unsettling ways, and has explored the more grotesque aspects of humanity through the lens of horror and the abject. Her later series have also touched on issues from class to aging.
