Exhibit
“Cindy Sherman: Imitation of Life”
The Broad’s inaugural special exhibit is a big one—for the first time in 19 years, artist Cindy Sherman will debut new work and site-specific murals in L.A. The more than 120 works on view will feature pieces never before seen in the city. The comprehensive survey draws mostly from the Broad’s own collection—which is the foremost holder of Sherman’s work in the world. Sherman’s body of work speaks to the film industry’s role in shaping identity and stereotypes and is especially statement making in the land of Hollywood celebrities. It’s a must-see if you’re in or around L.A.
