Synopsis
This small, gorgeously designed and carefully edited book―available in grey and beige cloth―presents all 20 photographs of a new body of work that Cindy Sherman completed in 2016. In these photographs, reminiscent (conceptually but not formally) of her earlier Film Stills, Sherman enacts variations on the theme of aging Hollywood actresses of the 1920s.
The series was inspired by her interest in early German Expressionist silent movies, which led her to further studies of the first wave of the Hollywood star system in the 1920s.
Here, Sherman’s "actresses" are presented in the style of studio publicity shoots, against backgrounds that were carefully composed for each of the characters. With heavy make-up, elaborate hairdos, precisely chosen and arranged wardrobe and dresses, Sherman creates female characters that provoke a rich array of cultural associations.

Hardcover. First Edition. Ivory-colored boards with mounted photo illustration and black lettering; 63 pp.; chiefly color portraits. "This small but carefully edited and crafted book presents all 20 photographs of a completely new body of work Cindy Sherman finished in 2016. Sherman's brilliant insights into the construction of identity and uncanny skills as a photographer, model, makeup artist and stylist have made her one of the most important artists in contemporary art. In this latest series Sherman focuses on the first era of Hollywood's star system that presented complex independent women characterized by exaggerated makeup, modern clothing and seductive poses in 1920s Hollywood publicity photos. These women-of-a-certain-age, who stand in front of digitally manipulated backgrounds to allude to old film sets, have definitely lived life with considerable strength and presence."-- Publisher description.
