CINDY SHERMAN Untitled, 1984

This original exhibition poster for Cindy Sherman’s show in Japan features text in Japanese and a striking photographic composition. In the image, Sherman wears a light brown overcoat and a short blondish wig while crossing a street that, judging by the vintage cars, evokes the 1970s—most likely a California setting. She gazes to the right, as if checking for oncoming traffic in the opposite direction, creating a moment of suspense and quiet narrative tension.

Set against a moody blue background, the contrast between the warm tones of her coat and the cool backdrop mimics a chiaroscuro effect, pushing her figure dramatically to the foreground. This compelling visual dynamic enhances the cinematic quality of Sherman’s work, reinforcing her signature exploration of identity, performance, and self-representation.

A rare and evocative piece, this Japanese exhibition poster is a significant find for collectors of Cindy Sherman’s work, contemporary photography, and art ephemera.
