Catalogue Note
"Sherman’s work at once engages with the infinite mutability of identity and gender representation, yet at the same time confronts the dilemmas explicitly associated with women… It is this paradoxical synthesis, combining metamorphosis and essentialism that make her work so mysterious and so provocative."
