Cindy Sherman @ MoMA

 Sherman's photographic mural, which is having its American premiere at the MoMA heads off this incredible exhibition. The mural itself is worth coming in to see.  Fortunately for us, the exhibition includes the most extensive overview of her work to date.  Her seminal works "Untitled Film Stills," society portraits and historic portraits are also featured.  Cindy Sherman is without a doubt, one of the most creative and provocative artists of our time.  Being both photographer & subject draw you into her work in a very unique and compelling way.  Her skill at metamorphosing into other personas reflective of both contemporary and historic figures is startling.  Perhaps, you'll notice most of her works are untitled.  And, many of her portraits reveal conflicting emotions.  Her society portraits were both arrogant and vulnerable.  The chromatic clown photos are beautiful yet haunting. This exhibit is phenomenal in its scope of her work and one to be savored, again and again.
