When curators at Saint Louiss Contemporary Art Museum asked Cindy Sherman whether there was a moment in her career whose resonance might be underappreciated one around which she might like to develop an exhibit and a book she selected her earliest adult creative years beginning while she was still a student at Buffalo State College in the mid1970s. Working Girl is full of rarely seen pieces and it features for the first time documentation of and stills from Shermans 1975 animated short Doll Clothes which is among the pieces that bring Shermans early exploration of gender and identity into focus. The mostly smallscale work including many early blackandwhite handcolored and sepiatoned photographs is culled primarily from the artists family members collections and her own and includes the pieces that laid the groundwork for her first major success the acclaimed Film Stills series.
