    Cindy Sherman

    – | Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster

    The staging of female role models in photographic self-portraits is the predominant theme in the work of American artist Cindy Sherman. To this end, Sherman references stereotypes of collective visual memory in a media-driven world. The exhibition at the Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster highlights works from Sherman’s fashion series, created between 1983 and 1994. Thanks to her passion for costumes and masquerade, the world of fashion has been an expansive playing field for her artistic exploration.
