Gucci Museo is pleased to announce Cindy Sherman: Early Works as the third contemporary art exhibition of works organized from 10th January2013 to 9th June2013.Cindy Sherman is a pioneer of photography as an art form. Working alone acting both as actor and director, she portrays characters using herself as the object and with the use of makeup and clothes she literarily transforms herself into the subjects whose life story she explores.
Following her graduation in 1976 whilst living in Buffalo, Sherman, together with a group of artists, created an artist space called Hall walls. In a period spanning one year this enterprising and tight-knit group created works and organized numerous exhibitions. We are delighted to be showing three bodies of work from these immensely important and formative years. Starting with Murder Mystery1976, Bus Riders1976 and Doll Clothes 1975. What is fascinating is to see from this series, are the mechanics of her working methodology.
Unfortunately the original cutout photographs of Murder Mystery and Bus Riders were lost. But In 2000 Sherman reprinted both these bodies of works as a series of complete images.
