Cindy Sherman at Spruth Magers London 16th April – 30th May 2009

Sprüth Magers London is delighted to present Cindy Sherman’s first UK exhibition since 2007. The colour photographs assembled are selected from a new series which develop Sherman’s longstanding investigation into notions of gender, beauty and self-fashioning, and reveal a particular concern to probe experiences and representations of aging. Working as her own model for more than 30 years, Sherman has developed an extraordinary relationship with her camera, and her audience, capturing herself in a range of guises and personas which are by turn alarming and amusing, distasteful and poignant. A remarkable performer, subtle distortions of her face and body are captured on camera, leaving the artist unrecognizable as she deftly alters her features, and brazenly manipulates her surroundings.
