Cindy Sherman artworks and editions

U.S. artist Cindy Sherman is best known for her conceptual self-portraits, which often critique the role and representation of women in society. In her works, she appears as a model herself, using costumes, makeup, props, and digital manipulation to depict a variety of female character types and scenarios familiar from popular culture, the media, and history. In doing so, she uses her own appearance as a canvas to explore and challenge the social and cultural roles and stereotypes she portrays.

Sherman's artworks and editions are characterized by its high theatrical quality and intense use of disguise and staging. Her work is often infused with a sense of unease or alienation and questions the way identity, particularly female identity, is constructed and represented.
