CINDY SHERMAN
Madame de Pompadour (née Poisson), 1990, porcelain soup tureen and platter
This soup tureen with accompanying platter, is based on the original design by Madame de Pompadour in 1756. Ms. Sherman has made the focal point of the design a photograph of herself as Madame de Pompadour.
CINDY SHERMAN has created this Limoges porcelain tureen set in a limited edition after the original design commissioned by Madame de Pompadour (née Poisson) in 1756 at the Manufacture Royal de Sèvres.
Sherman’s image of herself as Madame de Pompadour has been transferred onto porcelain through a complex process which requires up to 16 photo-silkscreens. Each tureen and platter is silkscreened and painted at Ancienne Manufacture Royale, fired on four different occasions, and then individually signed and numbered.
The edition, which has been published by ARTES MAGNUS, is available in the traditional 18th century colors of apple green, rose, royal blue or yellow, and is limited to 25 in each color version.
The green and blue editions are also available for purchase through Sotheby's Fine Arts' " Editions Hot Off The Press" collection, where you can also find additional images of the editions featured. Please visit the Sotheby’s Website for more information.
