Cindy Sherman
American · b. 1954

Sherman similarly uses constructed photographic scenarios and artificial personas to interrogate femininity, sexuality, and representation, often staging uncanny or unsettling domestic and intimate tableaux that question the nature of identity and the female body as simulacrum.

Hans Bellmer
German · b. 1902

Bellmer obsessively photographed and manipulated articulated female dolls in intimate and provocative arrangements, directly exploring themes of artificial sexuality, desire, and the constructed body that closely parallel Simmons' Love Doll series.

Marilyn Minter
American · b. 1948

Minter's work engages provocatively with sexuality, artificiality, and the fetishized female form through a lens of feminist critique, sharing Simmons' focus on how desire and constructed femininity intersect within a glossy, mediated visual language.
