This work was published by Parkett Publishers in Zurich and New York as a collaborative piece for the 29th volume of their art publication.
Key Details of the Work
• Medium: The piece consists of a screenprint on silk that is padded (giving it a soft, three-dimensional texture) and set into an ornate gilded wood frame.
• Dimensions: The object typically measures approximately 8 3/8 x 63/4 inches (21 x 17 cm) including the frame.
• Edition: It was produced in a limited edition of 100, plus 20 copies numbered in Roman numerals (I-XX) for artist's proofs.
• Signature: Each piece is hand-signed and numbered by the artist, usually on a label attached to the back (verso).
Significance
Unlike her famous large-scale photography, this
"multiple" allows for a more intimate, tactile engagement with Sherman's work. The use of padded silk and a gilded frame references historical portraiture and feminine domesticity, subverting these traditional forms through her contemporary lens of identity and performance. The work is held in major permanent collections, including the Museum of Modern Art( MoMA) in New York. See less
