UP CLOSE: Cindy Sherman

Curator Sarah Loyer discusses Broad collection artist Cindy Sherman who, for over four decades, has made artwork by photographing herself. Sherman’s work shines light on how identity is formed and how assumptions and stereotypes affect both how we see others and how we see ourselves. Featuring The Broad’s curators, Up Close is a series that takes a deeper look at artists and works in the Broad collection, which is notable for the exceptional depth of its holdings and dedication to the full arc of artists’ careers.
