ISBN: 9780500279878.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive catalogue traces the career of Cindy Sherman, examining her achievements as one of the leading American artists of our time. By exploring the myriad constructions of female identity and the body in our culture, Sherman imitates and confronts assorted representational stereotypes, becoming for many an icon of the contemporary concerns of feminism and postmodernism.\nEssayists Amada Cruz, Elizabeth A. T. Smith, and Amelia Jones offer keen insight and observations from several distinct vantage points, demonstrating that Shermans work is a lens through which to view contemporary art and its ongoing concern with the profound issues of the structures of the self. More than 200 images show the breadth of Shermans body of work, from the Untitled Film Stills of the 1970s to series such as Centerfolds, Fashion, Disasters, Fairy Tales, and History Portraits, as well as photographs influenced by surrealist artists. Also included are intriguing excerpts from Shermans notebooks, selections from her contact sheets, and numerous Polaroid studies, all of which shed light on the artists process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983946018869,"sku":"ByrdShop_050027987X","price":32.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780500279878_7d2556cb-52ca-40bd-bb22-499f10fb9e3c.jpg?v=1778708886","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/cindy-sherman-retrospective-9780500279878","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
