I debated clicking on this as I have never heard Ms. Sherman speak, nor have I seen her as a "live" person! So glad I did. As a young photographer, in New York City, she was in my top 5 most inspirational artists. I love everything about her work. I could look at her prints for hours on end, having been a huge fan of self-portraits. I guess in some weird way she inspired me to leave photography and become a character actor, myself. She's amazing!

She's literally a walking, talking, breathing work of protean art in embodied form that ever defies and plays with expectations, mainstream conventions For that, I appreciate you Cindy Sherman. Amazing work!🤩

[@HarlequinDrFaustus]

Been a fan of hers for a long time.

[@dorianhorton6805]

She's really seasoned by her art...to be found to be of a modern age, but still outside of time, is telling

When she bought those very strange dresses from the thrift shop her audience were ... baffled.
