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.

“ I am trying to make other people recognize something of themselves rather than me.

“ People think because it’s photography it’s not worth as much, and because it’s a woman artist, you’re still not getting as much - there’s still definitely that happening. I’m still really competitive when it comes to, I guess, the male painters and male artists. I still think that’s really unfair.

“ I wouldn’t think I would have to call myself a feminist, because I think it’s redundant to be a woman and call yourself a feminist.

“ It’s an aspect of photography I appreciate, conceptually: the idea that images can be reproduced and seen anytime, anywhere, by anyone.

“ A great portrait is something that combines the familiar with the unfamiliar - something seductive but also repulsive. I want to go “Ew,” but then can’t stop looking…It’s exciting in its gruesomeness

“ The weirdest thing I remember doing as a child — this was probably as a teenager, when I was going to junior high school — was that I decided I would make paper-doll versions of all of my own clothes. And then, because I was always an organized person, I made a little board with hooks for each day of the school week, and I would plan what I would wear each day and hang up the outfits. So bizarre!

“ Well, [I] was painting in school, but realistically. I went into photography because it seemed like a fast way to say what you want rather than laboriously making something look real. And here we go again about reality. I have never had a very good abstract sensibility. My mind needed organization so when I started photography it was out of a conceptual art vein making projects for myself.

Untitled #59 & Untitled (Under the World Trade Center), 1980
Peter Schjeldahl: When were you most stuck about what to do next, and what did you do next?
Cindy Sherman: Right after 9/11 I couldn’t see the point in making art. My first attempts were too sad and lifeless. Then I made a couple of Rosie the Riveter-type of portraits: heroic ordinary women, full of optimism.
