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 love the Untitled Film Stills just as much as the day I came across them; still, I must admit that I’ve grown a bit tired of reading about them. It seems like everything that can be said, has been said several times over.
However, this new article by G. Roger Denson—which analyzes the specific filmic influences on the series’ subject matter, compositions, etc.—is a must-read! Finally! A fresh—and thorough—take on a groundbreaking body of work.

After perusing the Hallwalls website, it seems I’ve found an outtake from the Untitled Film Stills! Cindy Sherman exhibited the image in 1979, but it has since been removed from the set. A similar photo still remains part of the series, though—Untitled Film Still #28.

Cindy Sherman’s Untitled Film Stills, as seen in a 1978 group show at Artists Space, as well as her first solo show at Hallwalls the following year. I always find it interesting to see early installation shots of the Film Stills. In the beginning, Sherman would usually hang them with push pins. After all, she never really intended for them to become such commodities; she wanted them to seem a bit cheap and ephemeral.

  • Mark Stevens: What mistakes do people make about the “Film Stills”?
  • Cindy Sherman: Referring to them as self-portraits.
  • MS: What about those who call your work narcissistic?
  • CS: I really don’t think that they are about me. It’s maybe about me maybe not wanting to be me and wanting to be all these other characters. Or at least try them on.

These photographs by Cindy Sherman were used on billboards throughout Hollywood in 2008, as part of the “Women in the City” public art exhibit.

(I assume some of these must be out-takes from already existing series, like the Untitled Film Stills and the Rear Screen Projections.)
