Untitled Film Still #21 hand-signed, 1978
Limited Edition of 50, hand-signed by Cindy Sherman
Each of Sherman's sixty-nine Untitled Film Stills (1977–80), presents a female heroine from a movie that feels familiar, as if we’ve seen it before. In this #21, we see the determined face of a young girl, setting out for her new career in a bustling metropolis. Sherman herself plays the role, dressing herself precisely to capture the familiarity of a scene we recognize, yet is undeniably novel. It is a fiction, but the truth of the piece peers through – questioning the role of femininity in postwar America – a period that defined Sherman as she grew up to become a definitive artist in contemporary culture.
Working with THE SKATEROOM, Sherman has released her work on the skateboard as a medium, and each of the 50 limited editions 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.
