NPG curator Anne Goodyear discusses a portrait of Cindy Sherman by photographer Martin Schoeller
Anne Goodyear, who is assistant curator of prints and drawings at NPG, discussed this portrait of Cindy Sherman by photographer Martin Schoeller. The portrait is on display in the recently opened exhibition "Portraiture Now: Feature Photography." Cindy Sherman, who is well known for creating photographs of herself adopting a broad range of persona, has a face that is surprisingly unfamiliar to viewers. Schoeller's portrait of Sherman, originally published with a New Yorker profile by Calvin Tomkins, "Her Secret Identities," unmasks the influential artist.
