Description
This publication features a brand new body of work by Cindy Sherman that continues her explorations of the genre of portraiture going back to her early work of the 1970s. Across thirty-six photographs, the artist collages parts of her own face to construct the identities of various sitters, using digital manipulation to accent the layered aspects and plasticity of the self. The book also includes a text by Sherman chronicling her process in the studio, offering an intimate glimpse into her thinking about the work.

She rose to prominence in the 1970s as part of the Pictures Generation, alongside artists like Sherrie Levine and Richard Prince. In 1977, after moving to New York, she created Untitled Film Stills, a series of 69 black-and-white portraits in which she embodies various female stereotypes inspired by Hollywood, film noir, and B movies.
