Cindy Sherman — c-print, in artist's frame
Cindy Sherman

c-print, in artist's frame

1992

A striking example of Cindy Sherman's signature approach to identity and self-representation, this work features the artist herself inhabiting a carefully constructed persona, blurring the boundaries between reality and performance. The c-print format delivers rich, luminous color and sharp detail, while the artist's custom frame becomes an intentional extension of the work itself, reinforcing Sherman's meticulous control over presentation and context. Together, image and frame operate as a unified statement on the constructed nature of identity, femininity, and the male gaze.
