Nan Goldin's The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is a groundbreaking photography collection documenting intimate moments from the artist's life and community in 1980s New York. Through raw, unflinching photographs of love, desire, addiction, and friendship, Goldin creates a visual diary that challenges conventional notions of privacy and beauty. This revised edition celebrates a work that revolutionized photography by insisting that personal life is political and worthy of artistic attention.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Goldin refused to hide or sanitize her experience, and in doing so, gave permission to countless others to tell their own stories. This collection reminds us that the most powerful art comes from radical honesty about who we are and how we live.
