While trolling Ryan McGinley's Instagram a couple weeks ago, we noticed a photo of him with Cindy Sherman at a Gucci event. Yes, we went a little #newyorksocialdiaries on this, but more importantly, we were surprised, as he linked to it, that Ms. Sherman's complete works, which now have their own Instagram handle, at the time, only had 248 followers. (Editor's note: within about an hour of this post going live, "Cindy Sherman Complete" followers exceeded 300.) So, despite whatever's going on with Instagram's algorithm change and whether you'll actually be able see her updates, it's a nice, growing overview of some of her most recognized works. And while you're at it, consider following these 12 photographers who have been taking over Humble Arts Foundation's Instagram over the past few months, with spontaneous visual diaries, or, like Sherman, as a vehicle for showing longer term projects. One (Eleanor MacNair) even has a nod to Sherman's famous Film Stills in Play Dough.
In case you haven’t heard, we jumped on the Instagram bandwagon a bit late in the game this past summer with our conveniently titled online show #latergram, featuring Instagram work from some of our favorite emerging and household name photographers.
