Description
Art historian Christa Döttinger analyses the history portraits that Cindy Sherman has been producing from 1989 on, which have made such an impression on the art world. Schneider sees the pictures, in which the New York artist photographs herself in poses from Old Master portraits of women, as being a contemporary expression of simulation and identiy - concepts that are characteristic of current debates.
