DIVING FOR PEARLS (2016)
Diving For Pearls is the 2016 book by Nan Goldin, conceived as an independent artist book on the occasion of Goldin’s exhibition at Hannover’s Kestner Gesellschaft. The book itself features almost exclusively new and previously unpublished work. This stunning book features a new muse in Venice, cityscapes and animals, self-portraits, Venitian interiors, mirrors and gravestones. A true token of Goldin’s lifelong dedication to her friends is deeply portrayed by her pairing of their portraits with paintings of saints that she took in museums. The striking similarities between the contemporary and the archetypical verve of past beauty exert an intense dynamic on the viewer. Another masterpiece by Nan.
