Object Type
DescriptionNan Goldin rose to prominence with photographs that chronicled her life in the subcultures of New York’s music and art scene of the late 1970s and 1980s, the post-Stonewall gay world and AIDS crisis, and the drug culture sometimes referred to as “heroin chic.” Goldin’s deeply personal images have been highly influential, giving birth to a diaristic and confessional strain of photography that has been widely embraced by contemporary photographers.
