Nan Goldin is one of the most significant photographers of our time. Today she is awarded the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography.
As many other women artists she turned her private world into public works of art. She is known for her intimate photos, especially her slideshow and first book 'The Ballad of Sexual Dependency', 1986. The rough aesthetics of her snapshots started a new trend among photographers around the world.
I am happy to see that for the third time in 27 years the Hasselblad Award Winner is a woman. You can see her photos on the Hasselblad Foundations webpage or visit the Guggenheim Museum's webpage, where you can see 11 of her works online.
