C. in 1953, the artist spent her early childhood in a typical residential neighborhood of the great American suburbs.

This is the Special Collectors edition of The Devil's Playground, limited to 100 copies, SIGNED and numbered by Nan Goldin. People are portrayed always with empathy both indoors and outdoors as they blend into and lose themselves in their surrounding landscape, while at the same time the landscape becomes personal and intimate, almost portraiture. The storm comes with personal family pictures, which at first looked like a usual family album pictures… but that was exactly the problem (? Voyuerism usually comes as a secreat obsession or sexual desire, that one experiences/enjoys by themselves. The titles of the works tell us the names of these friends, making them familiar: Suzanne Crying, New York, 1985; Cookie and Vittorio’s Wedding, New York, 1986; Joey at the Love Ball, New York, 1991, etc.

Since the 1980s, Goldin has consistently created photographs that are intimate and compelling: they tell personal stories of relationships, friendships and identity, while chronicling different eras and exposing the passage of time. She has since lived in New York, Bangkok, Berlin, Tokyo and Paris, amassing an extensive body of work that represents an often disconcertingly seductive photographic portrait of our time. You'll be drawn in, turned on, disgusted, or in love with this absorbing book, which has a strange beauty of it own.Goldin’s art is also one of the clearest manifestations of the vitality of the realist tradition today, that tradition in literature and painting where everyday life and the most humble of beings are represented with dignity. Gebraucht - Gut GU - Beschädigungen, Verschmutzungen, ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, gestempelt, Versand Büchersendung - - The most significant book published to date on Nan Goldin (b. I don’t do that at the moment (who knows in the future), I create narratives based on those moments and emotions.

This book features a significant body of latest work by Goldin, including photographs from new series such as Still on Earth (1997-2001), 57 Days (2000) and Elements (1995-2003), many of which are previously unpublished. Encountering the installation is a continuous emotion: the musical background is a collage of the eclectic music the artist loves; the projected images run along the wall in incessant fashion, from the photo of a birthday party in 1981, with Goldin seated in ‘her’ boyfriend’s arms, to other embracing couples, to friends who cry while they confide in Nan, to women in bathtubs, to people drinking: “It’s ultimately about how difficult it is to couple, says the artist, and how intense the need is. The same people are photographed at different moments in their lives, marking relationships that continue in time and that constitute that very close ‘family’ of friends by whom Goldin loves to be surrounded.At around the age of fifteen, Goldin began taking photographs with the intention of creating a visual diary of her everyday life. Since the early 1970s, Goldin has taken numerous photographs of her friends and 'family', which form a unique corpus of work. This monograph brings to light both the sources of Goldin’s inspiration and her life as a prominent contemporary artist: she is internationally recognized as one of today’s leading photographers. It also presents over three hundred prints of photographs taken since the 1970s, with a particular attention towards her recent works.
