Cindy Sherman |
|||
28 May - 3 October 2016 |
|||
The first major Australian solo exhibition in more than 15 years of work by the renowned New York-based artist Cindy Sherman will open at Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) from 28 May to 3 October this year. |
|||
The exhibition includes more than 50 large-scale works drawn from public and private collections – such as the much written about series ‘head shots’ 2000-02 and the darker ‘clowns’ series from 2003-04, made in the aftermath of the 2001 terrorist attacks in the USA. It will also include an entirely new body of work created this year and shown for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere. |

Cindy Sherman is one of the most recognized and influential artists of our time, who across her career has produced an astonishing number of character studies, experimenting with costume, prosthetics, makeup and digital photography to embellish and manipulate photographs in which she enacts her subjects in highly constructed images. |
