'While Lynda Benglis and Kiki Smith - paralleling Marcel Duchamp's sexual objects of the 1950s - draw on the three-dimensionality of sculpture to merge concavity and convexity into a confusion of sexual parts, Sherman (as always) makes use of the illusionary space of the photograph to stage the merging of female and male into a repulsive amputated erotic object (subject?).' (A. Jones, "Tracing the Subject with Cindy Sherman", Cindy Sherman Retrospective, London, 1997, p. 47)
