The new ICP  (International Center for Photography) at 250 Bowery will open the inaugural show on June 23.  50 artists will be exhibited for a show called “Public, Private, Secret.”  It is about “privacy in today’s social media driven culture.”

Cindy Sherman was born in 1964 in Glen Ridge, NJ.   She has had a very successful and innovative career and is best known for her images where she dresses up and roll plays,  photographing  herself, as in the photograph  above where she is polishing her toe nails.  Other themes include her series on black and white movie stills and on exploitation of women.
