Nan Goldin’s intimate photographic portraits of friends and lovers document her involvement in the New York City post punk new wave musical climate of the 70s and 80s and notably, gay and transvestite subcultures. Her private dramas are captured indoors, using artificial light and, as cibachrome prints, they appear sharp and vibrantly colourful. These snapshots of downtrodden urban life explore love, gender, sexuality but deal with drug and alcohol addiction and violence. Her work is candidly autobiographical, describing collection The Ballad of Sexual Dependency as "the diary that I let people read". Work from this phase focused on friends with AIDs and her own drug rehabilitation. Later work featuring  friends and family is less harrowing in its themes, but characteristically frank and sincere.

Goldin’s work has been the subject of 1997 retrospective show “I’ll Be Your Mirror” at the Whitney Museum, New York and a 2002 show at Pompidou Centre, Paris. She has collaborated with famed renowned Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki and won the Hasselblad award in 2007.
