A large framed color photograph by Cindy Sherman hangs on a white gallery wall at a slight angle to camera. The work shows a woman in a white tank top and dark trousers seated and turning toward the viewer. A small white wall label reading 'Cindy Sherman – Sans titre, 1981' is mounted to the right.

Cindy Sherman – Sans titre, 1981, on Museum Gallery Wall

5 October 2017 · Paris

A large-format Cindy Sherman portrait hangs in a black frame against a bare white gallery wall, the work's wall label mounted cleanly to the right. The photograph — Sans titre, 1981 — shows Sherman in her characteristic self-portrait mode: a woman in a white tank top and dark trousers, posed mid-turn with an unsettled directness. The installation is spare, the wall offering nothing to compete with the image. Sherman's work earns that kind of space — it asks to be read slowly, and the museum gives it room to do exactly that.
