Nan Goldin: The ballad of sexual dependency - A woman is lying on a bed clothed looking at a man with a bare back sitting on end of bed smoking a cigarette. On the wall in the background is a photograph of the same man lying in bed smoking a cigarette. The photograph is lit warm tones of orange, coming from an unseen window.

Nan Goldin: The ballad of sexual dependency

The ballad of sexual dependency is a defining artwork of the 1980s. American artist Nan Goldin’s extended photographic study of her chosen family—her ‘tribe’—began life as a slide show screened in the clubs and bars of New York where Goldin and her friends worked and played. 

Hosted by Flinders University Museum of Art, Nan Goldin: The ballad of sexual dependency is a National Gallery Touring Exhibition presented as part of the Bowness Family Foundation Photography Touring Program.
