Nan Goldin: Diving for Pearls

It's linen-bound with a beautiful, enigmatic tipped-on cover image. It's superbly printed—no text or image on the back cover to give anything away. It has essays by rising curator Lotte Dinse and fellow traveler, Glenn O'Brien (as well as the artist herself). But most importantly, it contains the newest and never-before-published work of one of the world's most important and influential living photographers. "Nan Goldin shows us another world that exists within this acknowledged one, a hidden place where some live, a place that some can visit and some can't, a place where there is no history, no rat race. Just the eternity we can sometimes glimpse in a face." "Luna at the lily pond, Helsinki" (2010) is reproduced from Nan Goldin: Diving for Pearls, new from STEIDL.
