Amazon.com
Based on an exhibition of the same title at the Whitney Museum of American Art this collection of more than 300 pictures documents the alternative culture of Nan Goldin's friends and acquaintances in the arty bohemian substrata of Manhattan. Goldin turns her camera outward to record transvestites carousing in downtown clubs and the social impact of AIDS and drugs; and inward to look with unblinking intimacy at her friends, her lovers of both sexes, and herself. She records her boyfriend masturbating. She shows him on the toilet. She shows her own battered face in a mirror after he beats her up. She traces the decline and death of her friend Cookie Mueller. Goldin has created a stark record of her urban demi-monde.
From Library Journal
Goldin's work, often described as intimate and passionate but sometimes seen too reductively as snapshots of her milieu, has always suffered from its direct simplicity. Acknowledged as the most influential photographer of her generation, she has been so often imitated in both advertising and art photography that it is easy to miss her still powerful edge. Even more than the current show at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, which this catalog accompanies, this volume reestablishes Goldin as the master of the personal documentary. In addition to the more than 300 images, mostly presented as full-page or two-page bleeds, the book collects diverse writings, from curator Elisabeth Sussman's straightforward biographical essay to interviews with Goldin and her roommate/best friend/collaborator David Armstrong to writings by Goldin's late friends David Wojnarowicz and Cookie Mueller that reflect and complement her direct style without actually discussing her work. The body of work?which was selected and edited by Goldin?is the heart of the book, though, and thankfully it still exhibits the old intensity without apology. Highly recommended for all libraries collecting American art and artists.?Eric Bryant, "Lirbary Journal"

Nan Goldin, a retrospective of brilliance
31. Juli 1999
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Goldin is the one of the most talented and prolific photographers of the 90's. Her work, which is based mainly on friends and lovers, is painful and delicate, striking a nerve in anyone who looks. It shows the beauty and horror of everyday life, sometimes bringing a tear to your eye. This book is worth every dollar.

art not of the void
18. Dezember 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
this is one of the most important books available in contemporary photography. i admire it for its bold reality, honesty and shockingly moving images. Anyone who takes documentary photo seriously should own this book. there is no pomp or frill here just the pain, disapointments and celebrations of life and death.
