In 1981 Cindy Sherman was commissioned to contributea special project to Artforum magazine. Given two facingpages, she chose to explore the pornographic centerfold,creating 12 largescale horizontal images of herselfappearing as various young women, often reclining, inprivate, melancholic moments of reverie.

Art historian Gwen Allen's essay examinesone of the most iconic photographs in the series, Untitled 96 in which a young woman lies on her back againstan orange and yellow vinyl floor, clutching a scrap ofnewspaper exploring the production and criticalreception of Sherman's Centerfolds in relationship to thepolitics of pornography, gender, and representation.
