Cindy Sherman is a seminal figure in contemporary art, known for her critical self-portraits that interrogate the construction of identity, gender, and representation. In “Untitled (Lucille Ball),” Sherman stages herself as the iconic television figure, evoking the aesthetics of mid-century publicity photography through stylized gesture, costume, and the affective distance of black-and-white tonality. The image does not aim for faithful impersonation but rather dissects the mechanisms of celebrity and the performativity embedded in feminine archetypes.
