Ballad of Sexual Dependency

"...Goldin's gritty visual record of New York's bohemian community of the '70s and '80s dispels, on a purely visual level, the fantasy and illusion associated with romantic love. On a deeper level, however, fantasies of every stripe surely burn within all her subjects....Often depicted alone in cheap hotel rooms, Goldin's subjects seem to be at war with themselves, hungry for life, and willing to take whatever risks are necessary in the pursuit of it....A potent reminder of the fact that love is a learn-as-you-go process nobody ever masters..."Goldin, Nan is the author of 'Ballad of Sexual Dependency' with ISBN 9780893813390 and ISBN 0893813397.
