Untitled #414 (Clown), hand-signed, 2003
Limited Edition of 50
Hand-signed by Cindy Sherman
In Untitled #414, 2003, we find Cindy Sherman disguised as a clown, wrapped in turquoise robe bedazzled in sequins. Like so much of her work, this piece shows Cindy Sherman carefully manipulating her pose, gesture, costume and makeup, using lighting, and composition to create dramatic portraits of herself as a clown. Staged against backdrops of vivid color, Sherman’s Clowns series mixes the masquerade and the make believe, humor and horror. Is this image hysterical or unsettling? Is the character delighted or, beneath the makeup, deeply troubled?
Working with THE SKATEROOM, Sherman has released her work on the skateboard as a medium Limited edition of 50, and each edition is hand-signed by Cindy Sherman.
Thank you to Hauser & Wirth and Fondation Beyeler for making this collection possible.




About the Artist

Born in 1954 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, Cindy Sherman lives and works in New York. Her ground-breaking photographs have interrogated themes around representation and identity in contemporary media for over four decades.
The untitled stills are some of the artist’s most recognizable works, often serving as a commentary on the lives of women and their depictions in popular culture. Each of the skate art editions invites the viewer into a fantastical world, as if captured straight from the big screen. In the center are characters of varying appearances and expressions, all commemorated in a specific scene which, despite its stillness, manages to convey a filmic dynamism.
