The devil's playground br - Tapa blanda

"You'll be drawn in, turned on, disgusted, or in love with this absorbing book, which has a strange beauty of it own."-Digital Photographer "Her work is defiantly stripped bare - in The Devil's Playground, reality bites."-Elle "This intense, roller-coaster ride through pain and pleasure is made bearable by the extraordinary beauty of the photographs."-Time Out "Goldin's consistent theme shines through in all its accessibility. She documents life as lived... It is fitting that the sequencing, which was laid out by Goldin herself, feels distinctly diary-esque: the profound insights often to be found in a seemingly abstract moment."-Pictured "Testament to a community of loved and loving bodies."-Time Out "These 500 pages of beautifully reproduced colour pictures constitute a moving soulful and surprisingly optimistic record of the work of a genius."-Diva "For any Goldin fan, it's a must-have."-Digital Photographer

Now available in paperback, this critically acclaimed book is the most significant and comprehensive publication of Nan Goldin's photography. Internationally recognized for her intimate and compelling images, Goldin has lived and worked in Boston, New York, Berlin and in Paris, her current home, creating images of herself, her surroundings, her lovers, friends and family. Taking the form of a diary, the photographs are sequenced alongside texts chosen by Goldin, which include short stories, poems and song lyrics by leading curators, poets and writers.

At this new reasonable price, it is sure to attract many more viewers to Goldin's impressive body of work.
