Specialist note

“Even when I was doing those history pictures, I was living in Rome but never went to the churches and museums there. I worked out of books, with reproductions. It’s an aspect of photography I appreciate, conceptually: the idea that images can be reproduced and seen anytime, anywhere, by anyone.” – Cindy Sherman (quoted in Michael Kimmelman, “At the Met With: Cindy Sherman; Portraits in the Halls of Her Artistic Ancestors,” New York Times, 19 May 1995, C1).
