Held in the ORIGINAL - collectible - Sundance Institute Packaging Box

Cindy Sherman is decidedly one of the greatest American photographers, with her repertoire including some of the most expensive photographs ever sold. So it is no surprise that the Sundance Institute, with its mission to support great achievements in film and storytelling, would find a way to recognize Sherman as an icon of incredible merit. In turn, Sherman honors the Institute by becoming one of the latest members of its exclusive Artist Edition collection. The collection—which has featured work by artists such as Susan Sarandon, John Waters and Anna Sui—has become a delightful way to support Sundance by creating limited-run collaborative pieces with all proceeds directly benefiting the Institute. As part of this effort, Sherman contributed a vintage print from her illustrious "Untitled Film Stills" series, which has rarely been shown for exhibition despite its fame. Placed on an 11.25 x 8.25 porcelain tray, the image makes for a highly collectible piece that truly exudes the epitome of great film.

Cindy Sherman's "Untitled Film Stills" are one of the masterpieces of the 20th century; a major artistic accomplishment that ushered in a generation of appropriation, an invigorated criticism of iconography, gender and cinema tropes.

Most importantly it was an early work that went beyond the artistic parameters of photography to be considered as a "artwork" rather than a group of photographs.

While Sherman has occasionally done "benefit works" for arts organizations this porcelain tray is unique as it uses an image from her most beloved body of work - the "Untitled Film Stills"

First sold by the Sundance Film Festival, this limited edition multiple quickly sold out.

This is a rare object by one of the most collected and important living artists.

Sherman’s work is represented in every major public collection including SF MoMA, Tate Gallery (London), and Centre Georges Pompidou (Pairs) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC).
