Emerging from the artist’s own life and relationships, and including herself as a subject, Nan Goldin’s work has transformed the role of photography in contemporary art. Her photographs and moving-image works address essential themes of identity, love, sexuality, addiction, and mortality. Uniting art and activism, Goldin has confronted the HIV/AIDS epidemic since the 1980s and today brings international attention to the overdose crisis. Goldin has had solo exhibition in many of the world’s leading museums, including MoMA, New York; Tate, London; IMMA, Dublin; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Stedelijk, Amsterdam; Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin; Louvre, Paris; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; Fundação de Serralves, Porto; Castello di Rivoli, Turin; Ujazdów Castle, Warsaw; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Fotomuseum Winterthur, Switzerland; Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna; National Museum, Prague; Rencontres d’Arles and many more.
