Label History

This image was based on a photograph that Robert Longo took of his friend and fellow artist Cindy Sherman in the late 1970s. While the image strongly resembles Sherman, the black and white color palette, stark contrast and pure white background give the image an unreal quality. As Longo describes his approach, “I’ve always thought that I was an abstract artist working representationally.”
