You take a thousand pictures to get a good one.\" Nan Goldin In her newest work  Nan Goldin merges her deep admiration for the artworks of the past with a lifelong dedication to her most immediate circle of friends. Invited by the Louvre  she photographed artworks of her choice at the museum and  guided by aesthetic and associative considerations  connected them to earlier photographs of her friends and lovers. In this way she not only draws inspiration from the rich sources of art history but revisits her own oeuvre of the last 40 years. The striking similarities between the two different pictorial worlds exert an intense dynamic on the viewer. The series  which yielded over 400 photographs  was shown for the first time in its full scope at the Kestnergesellschaft in Hannover  Germany. For this occasion  Diving for Pearls was conceived as an independent artist book which  alongside Goldins newest work \"Saints \" contains a selection of photographs that have never been published before. Nan Goldin was born in Washington  DC  in 1953 and is one of the most eminent female photographers of our times. She studied at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Since 1982 she has visited and worked in Berlin on a regular basis. She received a Hasselblad Photography Award in 2007. Goldin lives in Berlin  New York and Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67930164265013,"sku":"ByrdShop_3958290949","price":492.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783958290945.jpg?v=1794206778","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/nan-goldin-diving-for-pearls-9783958290945","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
