"In 1981 Cindy Sherman was commissioned to contribute a special project to 'Artforum' magazine. Given a two-page spread to work with, she chose to explore the erotic centerfold--a standard feature of men's 'lifestyle' magazines ever since it was established by 'Playboy' in the mid-1950s. Sherman created twelve large-scale horizontal photographs of herself appearing as various young (often reclining) women in private moments of melancholic reverie, longing, or waiting. 'I wanted a man opening up the magazine to suddenly look at it in expectation of something lascivious, ' the artist explained, 'and then feel like the violator that they would be. Collectively referred to as Sherman's Centerfolds series, these works were so provocative that 'Artforum' never published them, fearing that they would be misunderstood. Art historian Gwen Allen examines one of the most iconic photographs in the series, 'Untitled #96'--positioning it within both Sherman's work as a whole and the politics of pornography, gender, and representation."--Page 4 of cover.
