For Nan Goldin

At the age of fifteen Goldin held her first solo show, based on her photographic journeys among the city's gay and transsexual communities, to which she had been introduced by her friend David Armstrong. Goldin photographed New York's post-punk music culture of the late 1970's, along with the post stonewall gay subculture. By the 1990's most of her subjects were lost to drug overdose or AIDS, and she is recognized for the impact her photographs acheived in the capturing of a historical genre.
