We Love Cindy Sherman
Anything and everything relating to Cindy Sherman and her artwork: interviews, quotes by and about Cindy, videos, candid shots, exhibition views, and--most importantly--Sherman's masterful photographs. I will do my best to provide a nice mix of both well-known works, and some of her more rare pieces.

Chuck Close’s exhibit, opening tomorrow at Pace, will include the first presentation of his newest experiment with technology: watercolor prints.
“Invention,” Robert Storr writes, “plays a pivotal part in the fundamental dynamics of Close’s work but not in the sense of contriving an unprecedented pictorial or conceptual model. Instead his pragmatism or, better said, innovative empiricism, is aimed at devising previously untested ways of filtering and organizing the data he observes in nature, initially captures photographically, and seeks to transpose by other means onto a two-dimensional surface.”
Chuck Close has painted many portraits of Cindy Sherman (bottom right).

![Cindy Sherman - Twins, 1975 (destroyed by the artist)Photographic emulsion on canvas, painted
Believe it or not, Cindy Sherman actually began as a painting major at Buffalo State. It wasn’t until the second half of her sophomore year that she fell in love with conceptual photography. During that same semester, she created this painting. In a recent interview for a catalogue of Sherman’s early works, Charles Clough—a fellow artist, friend, and co-founder of Hallwalls—remembers the piece well.
Sherman and [Robert] Longo and I were in the kitchen in the loft upstairs from Hallwalls and Cindy… took a painted double self-portrait and put it in the trash. I pulled it out and said I thought it would be valuable someday, and Cindy asked for it back and then destroyed it.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m76mnjnwJW1r0zjlqo1_500.jpg)

Claudia Doring Baez - Untitled Films Stills, 2011-12, oil on canvas.
Phoebe Hoban for ARTnews, February 2012:
Claudia Doring-Baez has gone all out in her appreciation of Sherman’s work, appropriating the “Film Stills” in a series of oil paintings for her graduate thesis project at the Studio School in New York, including such classics as Untitled Film Still #7, in which a slip-clad Sherman is framed in a window, holding a martini glass. Below her looms a mysterious figure in a straw hat. “I was born in 1960, so when Cindy’s work came out in the ’80s it was revolutionary, it was amazing,” Doring-Baez says. “She was the first woman who empowered women at the time. Being a woman is an identity problem. We are all every single one of those women that Cindy created.”
