The photographs in Catalogue Raisonné, 1975-1977 explore Cindy Sherman’s early self-portrait work, capturing her experimental approach to identity and representation. The images utilize costume, makeup, and props to transform Sherman into various characters, challenging notions of femininity and the construction of visual narratives.

The collection spans three years of her formative artistic practice, presenting 375 pages that document her use of staged photography to dissect cultural stereotypes and psychological complexities. These photographs evoke a mood that is at once theatrical and introspective, highlighting the fluidity and performative nature of selfhood.

Published by The Museum of Modern Art in 2012, this volume serves as a comprehensive record of Sherman’s pioneering work during the mid-1970s.
