Cindy Sherman Reconsiders Face Value at Hauser & Wirth Menorca
Similar to Clare Booth Luce’s 1936 Broadway play titled “The Women,” Sherman’s play “The Women” offers a sharp depiction of female friendships, exploring how her characters perceive themselves and are perceived by the world. This work investigates the roles women are expected to fulfill, the images they embody, and the various gazes that influence their self-image, challenging traditional gender dynamics within the art form in an unabashedly bold manner, reflecting on the concept of self-portraiture.
