Don't miss the highlights of the Art Institute's addition.

Cindy Sherman, Untitled #88, 1981. Sherman built her career on self-portraits with a twist: The artist never depicts herself in her photographs, instead disappearing into imaginary personae in her famous “Untitled Film Stills” or recent works that portray her as various “women of a certain age.” Sherman made Untitled #88 for her “Centerfolds” series, which Artforum commissioned but never published, deeming her images of vulnerable-looking, possibly victimized women too controversial.
