Another interesting word or two on this exhibition (click the image to the left to go to the source) to add a different critical perspective:
Last Tuesday, The New Yorker commissioned Jessica Craig-Martin to photograph the opening of Cindy Sherman’s MOMA retrospective.
Craig-Martin’s work has a sly eye for colorful and revealing details of high-society parties, and her images from the MOMA show, above, playfully captured the curious relationship between Sherman’s art and its audience. “I noticed that some people would unintentionally mimic the pose in the photograph they studied,” she told me. “I tried to capture this unconscious imitation before awareness of my presence changed their stance.”
