[EAN: 9780500279878], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: Thames and Hudson, London and New York], COLLECTIBLE, ix, 219 pages, illustrations (some colour); 31 cm. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name jointly organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Age toning. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by special arrangement. Richly illustrated with colour plates. Sherman became famous (as a postmodernist) in the 1980s for her "Untitled Film Stills," deconstructing the representation of women in the mass media and problematizing the genre of self-portraiture in an age of simulation. She is, undoubtedly, one of the most influential American artists of the last quarter century. This publication accompanied the first major retrospective of her work. "American artist Cindy Sherman creates staged and manipulated photographs that draw on popular culture and art history to explore female identity. Her art embodies two developments in the art world: the impact of postmodern theory on art practice; and the rise of photography and mass-media techniques as modes of artistic expression." - Publisher.

Thames & Hudson, London, 1997. paperback. fine. This comprehensive catalogue traces the career of Cindy Sherman, examining her achievements as one of the leading American artists of our time. By exploring the myriad constructions of female identity and the body in our culture, Sherman imitates and confronts assorted representational stereotypes, becoming for many an icon of the contemporary concerns of feminism and postmodernism. Essayists Amada Cruz, Elizabeth A. T. Smith, and Amelia Jones offer keen insight and observations from several distinct vantage points, demonstrating that Sherman's work is a lens through which to view contemporary art and its ongoing concern with the profound issues of the structures of the self. More than 200 images show the breadth of Sherman's body of work, from the Untitled Film Stills of the 1970s to series such as Centerfolds, Fashion, Disasters, Fairy Tales, and History Portraits, as well as photographs influenced by surrealist artists. Also included are intriguing excerpts from Sherman's notebooks, selectionsfrom her contact sheets, and numerous Polaroid studies, all of which shed light on the artist's process., Thames & Hudson, London, 1997, 5<
