A longstanding photobook classic, and the work for which New York photographer is best known, The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is a visual diary chronicling the struggle for intimacy and understanding between friends and lovers collectively described by Goldin as her “tribe.” Her work describes a world that is visceral and seething with life. As Goldin writes: “Real memory, which these pictures trigger, is an invocation of the color, smell, sound and physical presence, the density and flavor of life.”

The fight for women's rights worldwide has been one of the great power struggles of the twentieth century, and its graphic expression has been central to this battle. Suffragettes to She-Devils captures the excitement of women's revolutionary campaigns and movements from the vibrant visual identity of the militant suffragettes, through the humour and sniping of the cartoons of Women's Lib in the sixties, to the virtual-reality explorations of end-of-the-century cyberfeminists. It studies the developing role of graphics and related media in the struggle for women's liberation, focusing on the way women have used graphics as a tool for their empowerment - finding a voice through visual or graphic means.

Nan Goldin: Recent photographs (Perspectives)

Contemporary Arts Museum

From Library Journal\nThe title of this photography collection is taken from a Boston club that Goldin first visited in 1972 and also refers to the subjects in her photos. Goldin ( The Ballad of Sexual Dependency , Aperture, 1986) writes in the introduction that "the third sex," the transsexuals and transvestites depicted here, "are the real winners of the battle of the sexes because they have stepped out of the ring." Yet when discussing the Whitney Biennial, which includes photos from this book, when she appeared on a recent segment of PBS's Charlie Rose Show , Goldin explained that her photography is foremost an attempt to represent her own life. Indeed, in spite of the lush and subtle color and careful proportion of these images, they maintain a feel of family snapshots. This apparent paradox in her intentions--still visible in the finished product--is the very value of her work: the ability to show difference not as exotic or separate or exclusionary but as everyday and real and integrated. Though one wishes for a longer introduction or notes (excluded to maintain the photo album effect, perhaps), this is recommended for all contemporary photography collections in public and academic libraries.

Her deceptively casual, color and black-and-white pictures are about social alienation, vulnerability, reconstructing one's identity and the will to survive. By turns raunchy, matter-of-fact, tawdry and celebratory, these affirmative images explore the "underground" world of queens and transsexuals from Boston to Bangkok, with stops in New York City, Berlin and Manila. In her accompanying text, the bisexual New York-based photographer recalls her live-in affair with a drag queen in the 1970s and analyzes the diverse motivations of her subjects. Some shift genders daily, "from boy to girl and back again." Some dress up only for stage performances, while still others pursue the drag life for glamour and fashion.
