Cindy Sherman is an iconic American photographer who poses as larger-than-life characters in her own self-portraits. Over the course of her 35-year career, she has transformed herself into hundreds of different personas: the movie star, the valley girl, the angry housewife, the frustrated socialite, the Renaissance courtesan, the menacing clown, even the Roman god Bacchus.

Raised in the 1950s, among the first artists to come of age in the era of television and mass media, Cindy Sherman is part of the “pictures generation”, making works that combine pop and conceptualism. Once you view her extensive body of work, you will be mesmerised by the scope of her reinvention, she has no limits and you will find it difficult to believe that the 100s of photos she has taken are of just one person – herself!
