Cindy Sherman: Untitled Horrors

Throughout her career, Cindy Sherman ( 1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey) has been interested in the derailed and deviant sides of human nature, noticeable both in her selection of subject matter (fairytales, disasters, sex, horror, and surrealism) and in her disquieting interpretations of well-established photographic genres, such as film stills, fashion photography, and society portraiture. This richly illustrated publication seeks to highlight and acknowledge these aspects of her work based on selected examples and accompanied by texts by well-known authors, filmmakers, and artists who likewise deal with the grotesque, the uncanny, and the extraordinary in their artistic practice.(German edition ISBN 978-3-7757-3486-8 ) Exhibition schedule: Astrup Fearnley Museet for Moderne Kunst Oslo, May 4, 2013 Moderna Museet, Stockholm, October 19, 2013 Kunsthaus Zürich, June 2014
