News / Nan Goldin / Announcements

Gagosian is pleased to announce the global representation of Nan Goldin. Among the most consequential artists of her generation, Goldin has introduced new modes of image making that have transformed the role of photography in contemporary art. Emerging from the artist’s own life and relationships, her photographs and moving-image works are both deeply personal and profoundly influential, addressing essential themes of identity, love, sexuality, addiction, and mortality. Throughout her career Goldin has united art and activism, confronting the HIV/AIDS epidemic since the 1980s and more recently bringing international attention to the overdose crisis.

All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (2022), directed by award-winning filmmaker Laura Poitras, is nominated for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 2023 Oscars. The film is an epic and emotional story about the life and career of artist and activist Nan Goldin, who helped produce the work, told through her slideshows and groundbreaking photography, intimate interviews, and rare footage of her personal fight to hold Purdue Pharma, owned by the Sackler family, accountable for the opioid crisis. The film premiered at  the 79th Venice International Film Festival in 2022, where it won the Golden Lion award.
