Nan Goldin

Her work today is often presented in form of slideshows. Her art consists of a wide array of subjects like collaborative book projects, the New York City skyline, landscapes, and water, people, babies, family life, and parenthood. Some critics have judged her art as making heroin-use appear glamorous. Nan Goldin admits romanticising images of the drug culture.

Her 2006 exhibition ‘Chasing a Ghost’ included moving pictures, a fully narrative score, a voice over and a harrowing set of slides named ‘Sisters, Saints & Sybils’ which focused on the suicide of her sister Barbara. She won the Hassellblad Award in 2007.
