Item Description
* SILENT AUCTION ITEM *
Reviewing the Cindy Sherman retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art recently, Peter Schjeldahl compares the artist to a movie director:
"Sherman clearly takes her duties as an entertainer seriously. The show is as good as the movies. Picture by picture, we are thrown back into discontinuous feelings that she quickens and manipulates as deftly as a Hitchcock or a Kubrick" (New Yorker, Feb. 27,2012).
Cindy Sherman is recognized as one of the most important contemporary artists of the last 40 years and arguably the most influential artist working exclusively with photography. This retrospective traces the groundbreaking artist's career from the mid-1970s to the present. Bringing together more than 170 key photographs from a variety of Sherman's acclaimed bodies of work, the presentation constitutes the first overview of her career since 1997 in the United States. Sherman has served as her own model for more than 30 years, generating a range of guises and personas that are by turns amusing and disturbing, distasteful and affecting. The exhibition showcases the artist's greatest achievements to date, from her early experiments as a student in Buffalo in the 1970s to her recent large-scale photographic murals.
This package includes four guest passes to the Director's Council curator-led discussion of this amazing exhibit, July 11, 2012.
The SFMoMA gives these passes to donors who contribute at the $20,000 level or above. They're not available anyplace else.
