Artist Entry #7

3-2-09

Nan Goldin






Nan Goldin is probably the queen of the snapshot aesthetic. She is world renowned for her images of New York subcultures. She completely immersed herself in these cultures, sucked into the life of drugs and drinking, and just snapped photos of her friends. The images are extremely raw and honest, and show a live of drugs and sexuality that really wasn't shown in the public before her. She currently works and lives in Paris and New York.
