...themselves--and all in the name of their art, of course. MADONNA, whose latest incarnation is Mother (and who has come under fire recently for, of all things, not having childproof window guards in her apartment), is the sole sponsor of an exhibition of works by CINDY SHERMAN, "Untitled Film Stills," which opens this week at New York City's Museum of Modern Art.
