Nancy Golding Art for Sale and Sold Prices

b. 1953 -

Following graduation from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston/Tufts University, Goldin
moved to New York City. She began documenting the post-punk new-wave music scene, along
with the city's vibrant gay subculture of the late 1970s and early 1980s. She was drawn especially
to the hard-drug subculture of the Bowery neighbourhood; these photographs, taken between
1979 and 1986, form her most famous work, The Ballad of Sexual Dependency.
The present work is from a series Goldin made of bar girls affectionately photographed in the Far
East in the 1990s.
