Cindy Sherman is without a doubt one of the most important living artists in the world. The challenge for MoMA curator, Eva Respini, was to top her very successful Sherman retrospective in 2008, which featured her ‘Untitled Film Stills’ series.

These larger photographs heighten the drama with their ‘vertiginous angles and super-saturated color.’
