"Born in New Jersey in 1954, Sherman is arguably the most celebrated artist of her generation. In the late seventies she produced a compelling group of small black and white photographs called Untitled Film Stills. Sherman appeared in each one, mimicking the stereotypical female characters that populated the movies of her youth ingenues, housewives, vamps, and other instantly recognizable types. In a later series of photographs she masqueraded as different generic types from historical paintings. Her photographs make a spectacle of social ideals, myths, and stereotypes. They probe questions of identity by stimulating viewers to consider the visual models on which we fashion our external selves and our identities. This exhibition presents a variety of Sherman s works from the last three decades. Artists Simon Grennan and Christopher Sperandio will produce a comic book to accompany this project. This exhibition is underwritten by the Anne Gerber Fund, Seattle Art Museum."
