Untitled 96

Untitled #96 is a color photograph made by American visual artist Cindy Sherman in 1981.

On 11 May 2011, a print was auctioned for US$3.89 million, the highest price paid for a photographic print at that time,[2] though the price has since been surpassed.

[3] The photograph depicts the artist portraying a young teenager girl with short blonde hair, lying on a linoleum floor, wearing an orange sweater and a short skirt, as she clutches the scrap of a newspaper.

Cindy Sherman explained about the composition: "I was thinking of a young girl who may have been cleaning the kitchen for her mother and who ripped something out of the newspaper, something asking 'Are you lonely?'

[4] There are prints of the photograph at the Museum of Modern Art, in New York, The Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, in Rotterdam.
