Once Upon a Time. 1981-2011
New York: Mnuchin Gallery, 2017. 1st Edition. Octavo, publisher’s stiff printed paper wraps.
Catalog published in conjunction with an exhibition of work by the internationally acclaimed visual artist held at Mnuchin Gallery in New York in 2017. Demonstrating Sherman’s use of costume, makeup, and staged photography along with her enduring interest in identity-as-performance, the show presented three of her major series from 1981 to 2011, beginning with "Centerfolds," a series of photos that subvert men’s magazine pin-up imagery, through "History Portraits," a parody of Old Master paintings, to "Society Portraits," a satire of wealth, aging, beauty standards, and social status. Illustrated with color plates; with text by curators Phillipe Ségalot and Sukanya Rajaratnamand, essays by Francesco Bonami and Betsy Berne, a brief biography, and an exhibition history. Fine.
