"J. and Richard on the bed, Chicago" (Couple in Bed, Chicago), from the series "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency". 1977/printed late 1990s. Cibachrome print. 58 x 72,5 cm. Signed, titled, dated and dedicated by the photographer in felt-tip pen on the verso.
Nan Goldin's work explores themes surrounding the LGBT community, intimacy, the HIV crisis, and the opioid epidemic. Her seminal work, "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency" (1986), which includes this image, serves as a poignant documentation of post-Stonewall gay subculture, intertwined with intimate portrayals of Goldin's family and friends. Often compared to Diane Arbus and Larry Clark, Goldin's style embraces the informal, content-driven aesthetic of the snapshot, with a preference for capturing private dramas in interior settings, such as cluttered kitchens, downtown bars, and disheveled beds. Notably, her adept use of color serves as a catalyst for accentuating the emotional essence of each moment. Goldin resides and works in New York City, Berlin and Paris. – Small dent in upper right, some light surface soiling, only visible at an angle, traces of previous mounting on the verso, otherwise in very good condition.
