Guest of Cindy Sherman
In the 1990s, Paul H-O created a Wayne’s World-style public access TV show, “Gallery Beat,” that poked fun at the oh-so serious art world. Then he started dating Cindy Sherman, art world royalty. She’s best known for posing in her own photos, in innumerable made-up identities. Paul H-O became the faceless, nameless “plus one” of Ms. Sherman. So, as Paul tells Kurt, he made a movie about it: “Guest of Cindy Sherman.”
