Description
Cindy Sherman's Working Girl offers an intimate look at her early artistic practice. This collection features rarely seen pieces from her formative years as a student in the mid-1970s, including documentation of her 1975 animated short Doll Clothes and a selection of small-scale photographs that showcase her conceptual approach to photography. These works, culled primarily from Sherman's family members' collections and her own archives, provide valuable insight into the genesis of her distinctive style and artistic substance. The book illuminates Sherman's early exploration of gender and identity, laying the groundwork for her later success with the acclaimed Film Stills series. By examining this pivotal period in Sherman's career, Working Girl offers a unique perspective on the development of one of the most significant artists of our time.
