Cindy Sherman incites reflection in new SF MOMA exhibit

There’s an awful lot of Cindy Sherman at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Aside from the works the museum has in its permanent collection (though not currently on display), there is Sherman’s retrospective fresh from the MoMA in New York. Then there’s the fact that there is so much of Cindy Sherman in the retrospective itself. Nearly all of the images feature her as the sole or primary subject. Indeed, in general terms, Cindy Sherman is a highly visible artist — this show being her third major retrospective in the United States since 1987. One could be forgiven for thinking they were over familiar with her and that, I suppose, is partly the point.
