Power Structures

Featuring more than two dozen works spanning 30 years, Cindy Sherman: Once Upon a Time, 1981 – 2011 at Mnuchin Gallery, New York, takes as its focus three of the artist’s most acclaimed series: the Centerfolds, the History Portraits, and the Society Portraits. Co-curated by Philippe Ségalot and gallery partner Sukanya Rajaratnam, and organised with the support of the artist and Metro Pictures, it celebrates her ability to create “portraits” that mine the stereotypes and genres of art history and mass media while drawing attention to the power structures that have shaped this imagery.

Until 10 June. For details: www.mnuchingallery.com.
