"Sometimes I'd go to parties dressed in character. Then, a friend rented a photo booth and I dressed up as Lucille Ball. I had a wig that reminded me of her hairstyle." Created in 1975 prior to her now famous Film Still Series, Sherman's silver gelatin pint remarkably captures the essence of the comic genius Lucille Ball.
