The Other Side
By Nan Goldin
1972
Fabulous vintage poster for Nan Goldin’s The Other Side exhibition at the Matthew Marks Gallery in New York. The Other Side was a drag queen bar in Boston in the 1970’s, and was later the title of one of Nan Goldin’s books.
The poster features a Nan Goldin artwork ‘Ivy in the Boston Garden, Veiled, 1973’ a drag queen smoking a cigarette in a holder, wearing a classy outfit, veiled… looking a million dollars.
‘I was 18, and felt like I was a queen, completely devoted to my friends, they became my whole world. Part of my worship of them involved, photographing them. I wanted to show them how beautiful they were. I never saw them as men dressing as women, but as something different a third gender’
