From the mid-1970s to the present day, Cindy Sherman has produced a photographic oeuvre almost entirely devoted to portraiture, never using models other than herself. Paradoxically, it was by disappearing behind her masks and costumes that Cindy Sherman became an icon, challenging the very idea of identity and the boundaries between reality and fiction. Published on the occasion of Cindy Sherman's retrospective at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, and with a preface by Suzanne Pagé, this book brings together essays by Marie Darrieussecq, Gérard Wajcman, Ludovic Delalande, and the exhibition curators, Marie-Laure Bernadac and Olivier Michelon. Reproduced here, the approximately 170 works presented in the exhibition are accompanied by commentaries that situate them within the development of a body of work rightly considered to be of capital importance in the history of art over the last fifty years.
