Nan Goldin: The Ballad Of Sexual Dependency (Aperture Monograph)

Nan Goldin's Ballad is a document of the bohemian lifestyle in the East Village of New York. Her color photographs are an intensely personal experience of bars, parties, drugs, male predators, and battered women. Included are pictures of transvestites, drag queens, homosexuals, and heterosexuals relating--and not relating--to each other and to her. J. Hoberman of The Village Voice calls it "a sexual taxonomy for the '80s."
