Cindy Sherman

March 17 – June 27, 2026 | Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster

The staging of female role models in photographic self-portraits is the central theme in the work of the American artist Cindy Sherman. In doing so, she draws on stereotypes from the collective visual memory within a media-shaped world. The exhibition at the Sammlung Goetz / Schaufenster focuses on works from her Fashion series, created between 1983 and 1984. Through Sherman’s passion for costume and masquerade, the world of fashion offers a broad field for her artistic exploration.
