Over the past several decades, photographer Cinday Sherman has achieved icon status with her original and provocative self-portraits – in which she plays various roles inspired by everything from history to popular culture. The Museum of Modern Art’s new exhibition (opening February 26th) will present an retrospective of her photography from the 1970′s through the present. The exhibit will include images from her groundbreaking series Untitled Film Stills (1977-1980), in which she plays stereotypical female roles inspired by 1950′s and 60′s film, as well as her history portraits(1989-90) and her society portraits (2008). Here are a few of our favorite images from the much-anticipated exhibit:
Cindy Sherman. Untitled Film Still #21. 1978.
Cindy Sherman. Untitled #466. 2008.
Cindy Sherman. Untitled Film Still #56. 1980.

While there are many sites today dedicated to the pursuit of jewelry, fashion and style, here at MRK Style we approach these subjects through a collector’s lens. Through exploring how people relate to Jewelry, Art, Family, Fashion, Food, Film and Travel—essentially life’s various, everyday obsessions—we reflect on how we all live with the things we love.
