Cindy Sherman: The Complete Untitled Film Stills

Cindy Sherman (1954)

Synopsis

Cindy Sherman's "Untitled Film Stills" is a groundbreaking photobook of 69 black-and-white photographs taken between 1977 and 1980. This influential series explores themes of identity and mass media's role in shaping perceptions by portraying Sherman in various female roles inspired by cinematic stereotypes. These images mimic movie stills, capturing characters like a chic starlet or a seductive librarian, reflecting postwar American femininity. Sherman's work doesn't depict recognizable figures, but instead offers universally familiar personas. The Museum of Modern Art acquired the entire series in 1995, and this book marks its first complete publication, sequenced by Sherman.
