"Cindy Sherman (American, b. 1954) is widely recognized as
one of the most important and influential artists in contemporary art.
Throughout her career, she has presented a sustained, eloquent, and
provocative exploration of the construction of contemporary identity and
the nature of representation, drawn from the unlimited supply of images
from movies, TV, magazines, the Internet, and art history. Working as
her own model for more than 30 years, Sherman has captured herself in a
range of guises and personas which are at turns amusing and disturbing,
distasteful and affecting. To create her photographs, she assumes
multiple roles of photographer, model, makeup artist, hairdresser,
stylist, and wardrobe mistress. With an arsenal of wigs, costumes,
makeup, prosthetics, and props, Sherman has deftly altered her physique
and surroundings to create a myriad of intriguing tableaus and
characters, from screen siren to clown to aging socialite."
