This publication presents a 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.

Published with Hauser & Wirth, on occasion of the exhibition ‘Cindy Sherman’, 9 Jun – 16 Sep 2023, Hauser & Wirth, Zurich.

The exhibition coincide withs two museum shows from Sherman: ‘Cindy Sherman – Tapestries’, 4 Feb – 5 Jun 2023, ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, Denmark and ‘Cindy Sherman: Anti-Fashion’, 21 Apr – 10 Sep 2023, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Germany.

Sherman is considered to be one of the important American artists of her generation. Hauser & Wirth announce worldwide representation of the artist in 2021.
