Cindy Sherman

With millions of pictures taken every day, we can easily get lost in the vast world of images. That's why TIME magazine decided to create a list of the 100 most influential pictures ever taken. They teamed up with curators, historians, photo editors, and famous photographers around the world for this task. And now, you can find all of the most famous photos in one place, together with descriptions as to why these famous historical photos are such an important part of our legacy.

We look at some of the Hollywood references that lace the photographer’s seminal work

The artist’s new photographs are more explicitly autobiographical than ever. But a move toward film may be next.

Ms. Sherman’s ingénues from the late ‘70s are older, some confronting aging with little regret.
