“I was never without a camera in those years and I photographed my friends constantly. I published the pictures in this book so that nostalgia could never color my past.”

—Nan Goldin

Aperture released a limited-edition print by Nan Goldin in 2022, along with a signed copy of her acclaimed work "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency," which was originally published in 1986. The book is a visual diary documenting Goldin's tribe of friends and lovers, capturing their intense and fervent lifestyle. The latest edition has remastered reproductions and an updated afterword by the artist.
