Cindy Sherman

Exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, 23 September 2020 - 3 January 2021

From the mid-1970s to the present day, Cindy Sherman (1954-) has produced a body of photographic work almost entirely devoted to portraiture, never using any models other than herself. Paradoxically, it is by disappearing behind her masks and costumes that Cindy Sherman has become an icon, challenging the very idea of identity and the boundaries between reality and fiction.

This exhibition catalogue brings together essays and reproduces the one hundred and seventy works presented, all accompanied by commentaries that place them in the development of a body of work that is considered of major importance in the history of art over the last fifty years.
