"I can think of no body of work at once so timeless and yet so much of its own time as Cindy Sherman's stills...They are wry, arch, clever works, smart, sharp, and cool. But they are among the rare works of recent decades that rise to the demand on great art, that it embody the transformative metaphors for the meaning of human reality."--Arthur Danto. Among the most influential artists of the last thirty years, Cindy Sherman made her name with this body of work, in which she enacted a seemingly unending series of b-movie cliches--in the process launching endless seminar discussions on the construction of femininity in and through popular culture. As Jerry Saltz wrote of a recent show at Metro Pictures, New York, "Cindy Sherman's is the face that launched a thousand theories. The best-known, most influential, least criticized, most lionized artist to emerge since Bruce Nauman, Sherman has a ruthless one-track mind whose powers of observation and parody have given us a rogue's gallery of archetypes, imaginary beings, demented dorks, ghouls, historical characters, and people she sees" Very good in a good plus dust jacket.
