Cindy Sherman came to prominence in 1977 when she published a series of black and white self portraits titled Untitled Film Stills. Using different disguises, scenery, wigs, and poses in her work, Cindy transforms herself into a variety of female personalities and archetypes. Today she is considered to be one of the most important contemporary artists.
