Sherman became famous (as a postmodernist) in the 1980s for her "Untitled Film Stills," deconstructing the representation of women in the mass media and problematizing the genre of self-portraiture in an age of simulation. She is, undoubtedly, one of the most influential American artists of the last quarter century. This publication accompanied the first major retrospective of her work. "American artist Cindy Sherman creates staged and manipulated photographs that draw on popular culture and art history to explore female identity. Her art embodies two developments in the art world: the impact of postmodern theory on art practice; and the rise of photography and mass-media techniques as modes of artistic expression." - Publisher.. 1st.
