			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindy_Sherman">Cindy Sherman</a>&#8217;s <em>Untitled Film Still #13</em> aka &#8216;The Librarian&#8217; has <a href="http://www.forbes.com/2008/10/01/collecting-auctions-art-forbeslife-cx_nw_1001librarian.html">sold for $902,500 at a Christie&#8217;s auction</a>!  Wowza.  The photographs from Sherman&#8217;s <em>Film Stills</em> series are largely inspired by B-movies, film noir, and films from the 50s and 60s.</p>
<p>Here is Sherman in the library, looking deceptively wholesome, I think.  She looks very young [Sherman was 23 when this was shot, old enough to have just finished her MLS degree] and there is a &#8216;Library Lolita&#8217; feel to this photograph.  Oh yes, I love fueling the bookworm-by-day-bad-girl-by-night librarian stereotype.</p>

<p>I think this would be a great idea for an exhibit at a library or, EVEN BETTER, as an alternative way of displaying staff and committee photos on library walls!  Shot in black and white, those being photographed would create [or recreate] some library-centric scene from the past.  Since black and white film would be used, scenes from 1960s and earlier would be best.  Ooh!  Now how do I get management to share MY VISION.</p>
