The Hug

By Nan Goldin

2022

Stunning exhibition poster from the world’s most famous female photographer Nan Goldin, recently awarded the most powerful person in art 2023.

The image is of one of Goldin’s famous photographs of the drag queens she lived with in the 70’s.   Or as she put it  ‘I fell in love with them, literally.  They were the most beautiful people I’d ever seen’.

Nan Goldin’s photographs are sublime.  She is quite possibly the most important photographer of modern times.   She describes her work as ‘The diary I let people read’.  Goldin has collapsed the boundaries between her life and art.  Her tender works are in the throes of life, they portray the essence of the human condition.

The Artist

Nan Goldin

Nan Goldin is a great documenter of both ordinary life and the edges of society. As a photographer working in Boston in the 1970s, she come to prominence with her first exhibition on gay and transgender people in the city, in 1978. This was a springboard for her to move to New York City and to capture the energy and ethos of the new-wave youth culture that was a huge movement of the time. Her work has at times courted controversy – her depiction of heroin addicts seems to show it as a romantic pastime rather than a damaging drug addiction.
