Description

Cindy Sherman's iconic Centerfold series was first showcased in 1981, when she created 12 large-scale horizontal images for Artforum magazine. These provocative photographs featured herself and her friends posing as various young women, often in private, melancholic moments. The project was never published due to concerns that it would be misunderstood. In this book, Professor Gwen Allen examines one of the most iconic images from the series, Untitled #96. She explores the production and critical reception of Sherman's work, particularly in relation to the politics of pornography, gender, and representation. This essay provides a unique insight into the creation and impact of an influential photographic series. Through her analysis, Allen sheds light on the complexities surrounding Sherman's Centerfolds, challenging readers to consider the ways in which art can subvert and challenge societal norms.
