Specialist Notes:

Growing up in Boston during the 1960s, then in New York in the 1970s, Nan Goldin has captured exceptionally personal, spontaneous and sensual photographs of her family, friends, and lovers. In 1979 she presented her first slideshow in a New York nightclub, and her richly colored, snapshot like photographs were soon heralded as a groundbreaking contribution to fine art photography. Goldin herself has commented on her photographic style and philosophy, saying, 'My work originally came from the snapshot aesthetic. Snapshots are taken out of love and to remember people, places, and shared times. They're about creating a history by recording a history.'
