The Ballad of Sexual Dependency — Nan Goldin, Aperture 2012

Nan Goldin’s The Ballad of Sexual Dependency remains one of the most visceral and influential photobooks of the late 20th century — an unflinching visual diary of intimacy, addiction, love, and damage. First published by Aperture in 1986 and reissued here in 2012, it collects Goldin’s raw 35mm snapshots of her extended chosen family: artists, lovers, drag queens, addicts, and outcasts orbiting the Downtown New York and Boston scenes of the late ’70s and early ’80s.
