THE REAL CINDY SHERMAN | Harper's Bazaar

Unspektakuläres, solides Porträt zu Cindy Sherman. 

By the end of the ’80s, Sherman, now an art star, was doing some pretty nasty stuff — scenes of depravity, vomit, destruction. There are not many things more disgusting than a pimply ass or a face buried in vomit, but the pictures are funny too.
Sherman says, “Initially, I started that work as a reaction to feeling a little nervous that I was getting successful. Do people really like my work, or is it that they’re told to like it as the flavor of the month? So I decided to make these pieces. ‘Well, here you go, collectors. If you want to buy this picture of vomit, I dare you to buy it.’ In a way, it was successful. Those are some of my favorite pieces.”
