Starting in the early 1970s, this catalogue of Nan Goldin's
mid-career retrospective covers the party years in Boston and New York, the
widespread drug abuse, euphoria and crisis, the burgeoning AIDS crisis, and the
collective will to survive. Goldin's phototgraphs recount a highly personal
version of the last two decades, chronicling her sometimes desperate combat
against death and loss, her search for intimacy, and her embrace of new
friendships in Europe and Asia.
