Nan Goldin
Self-portrait in blue dress, New York City, 1985
Archival pigment print
5 x 7 inches

This special limited-edition print comes with issue #239 of Aperture magazine, titled "Ballads," which is dedicated to the enduring influence of Nan Goldin's The Ballad of Sexual Dependency (Aperture,
1986; reissued 2012). The issue features an exclusive interview with Goldin, as well as a section she curated dedicated to her influences across photography, film, and literature.
This is a picture of me in the '80s at a friend's after the bar.
The dress was my uniform at that time. These were the days of the nightlife.
Proceeds from the sale of this print will benefit
VOCAL-NY (Voices Of Community Activists & Leaders), P.A.I.N. (Prescription Addiction Intervention
Now), and Aperture.
P.A.I.N. is my activist group fighting the Sackler family, whose pharmaceutical company, Purdue Pharma, developed and pushed OxyContin, igniting the Opioid Epidemic. We expose the Sacklers' toxic philanthropy through direct action and court intervention, and we address the overdose crisis by advocating for Harm Reduction. We're proud to collaborate with VOCAL-NY,

Each print, signed by Nan Goldin, was produced under the artist's supervision by Laumont Editions in June 2020.
