Born in 1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, Cindy Sherman lives and works in New York NY. Her ground-breaking photographs have interrogated themes around representation and identity in contemporary media for over four decades. Sherman continued to channel and reconstruct familiar personas known to the collective psyche, often in unsettling ways. Her “Untitled Film Stills” series from 1977–80 was composed of black-and-whites images resembling shots from nonexistent Hollywood movies, each with Sherman performing as a filmic type for her camera. Since the early 2000s, Sherman has used digital technology to further manipulate her roster of characters. For the artist’s Clown series in 2003 she added psychedelic backdrops that are at once playful and menacing, exploring the disparity between the exterior persona and interior psychology of her subject.

‘We are honoured and delighted to announce our collaboration with Cindy, and welcome her to Hauser & Wirth. She is a pictorial master, dazzlingly inventive, and there is such deep poignancy in her work, but also great humour and power. She is fearless in ambushing the tropes of identity that our society has manufactured. In this sense, Cindy’s practice resonates very strongly with the work of many other artists central to our program, from late landmark figures like Louise Bourgeois, to contemporaries like Paul McCarthy and Lorna Simpson. Cindy is already established in the history of modern and contemporary American art, thanks in no small measure to the extraordinary work of Janelle Reiring and Helene Winer of Metro Pictures, her gallery since the early 1980s. We are excited to build upon their achievements and to introduce the artist’s work to ever-broader audiences and new generations worldwide.’ Marc Payot, President of Hauser & Wirth, remarked.
