Nan Goldin (B. 1953)

Nan Goldin is invested in the instant of all her subjects. She successfully manages to capture her network of friends, lovers and acquaintances in the most intimate of moments without any evidence of her observance. Chiclet doing her Makeup NYC is a perfect example of Goldin’s oeuvre, capturing Chiclet–a friend who appears in other works by the photographer– in the moment of steadily applying her make up.
