Sharon Core is an American artist and photographer whose work uses art-historical conventions of landscape, portraiture and still life to examine questions of collective memory, authenticity and authorship, and the interplay between photographic truth and illusion.
Core first gained recognition with her Thiebauds series in which she created photographic interpretations of American painter Wayne Thiebaud's renderings of food. Two of her works in the Thiebauds series, Candy Counter 1969 and Confections were acquired by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 2005.
