Seller's Notes:"Self-portrait in blue dress, New York City, 1985" (1985/2020) is one of the most iconic images shot by Nan Goldin, a trailblazing photographer who redefined the medium in the 80s and 90s. At the time, she began photographing her friends and lovers partying, doing drugs, and otherwise living a decadent life in a down-and-out, romantically grimy New York City. This particular self-portrait is quintessentially Goldin: dark and candid and defiant, she wears a pretty blue dress and a swollen black eye. Wow! Originally shot in 1985, she reissued it as a small, limited edition in 2020, and this is a rare opportunity to own an original work by a celebrated and now very expensive artist. This will be a conversation starter for those who like things with an edge. It's very nicely framed, with Goldin's signature on the reverse. I also have a certificate of authenticity that goes with it.
