PHOTOGRAPHY'S ANGEL PROVOCATEUR

"At many points throughout this dense, often exciting show, which opens on Sunday, we are confronted by an artist with an urgent, singularly personal vision, who for the past 35 years has consistently and provocatively turned photography against itself." By Roberta Smith for the New York Times

Cindy Sherman Unmasked

"CINDY SHERMAN was looking for inspiration at the Spence Chapin Thrift Shop on the Upper East Side last month when she eyed a satin wedding dress. An elaborate confection, it had hand-sewn seed pearls forming flowers cascading down the front and dozens of tiny satin-covered buttons in the back from which the train gently hung like a Victorian bustle."  by Carol Vogel for the NY Times (2/19/2012)
