Cindy Sherman


Why not start the weekend off right by digging into some Cindy Sherman artwork.  Sherman's artwork, including her most recent exhibition first displayed at the NYC MOMA is incredible.   I was lucky enough on my recent visit to San Francisco to see the exhibition at the SF MOMA.  Sherman photographs herself as different women from various backgrounds.  The outfits are crazy, and the makeup even crazier.  I found out about the Sherman exhibit after listening to Ira Glass' narration of visiting the Sherman exhibit when it had just opened at the NYC MOMA.  Someone posing as Cindy Sherman went around the exhibit saying she was Cindy Sherman. Of course, Ira Glass being Ira Glass, he had to make a hilarious prologue segment of This American Life on it.  Listen to it here. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/468/switcheroo

Here are some amazing photos of some of Sherman's photographs I saw in her recent exhibition.  (All Photos courtesy of www.moma.org unless otherwise noted)
