Description

Discover Untitled (Portrait III) from Cindy Sherman’s celebrated Head Shots series. In this photograph, Sherman once again inhabits a fictional aspiring actress — yet here, the expression feels more restrained, almost contemplative.

The character appears composed and poised, but beneath the polished styling lies a subtle tension. The carefully arranged hair, dramatic eye makeup, and studio lighting evoke early 2000s Hollywood publicity portraits, while simultaneously exposing the fragility behind constructed glamour.

Shot on experimental Polaroid slide film, the image carries a cinematic softness and nostalgic grain that enhances its emotional resonance. Sherman’s work consistently interrogates themes of identity, performance, femininity, and societal expectation. In this portrait, the distance between persona and self becomes both visible and poignant.

Printed as a digital C-print on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Type DPII paper, the work offers rich tonal depth and archival quality. Issued in a limited edition of 629, it is signed on the reverse and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

As one of the most influential contemporary artists, Cindy Sherman’s photographs are held in major museum collections worldwide. Works from the Head Shots series remain highly regarded for their cultural and conceptual significance.
