Cibachrome print, in excellent condition. Signed by the photographer in black ink on the reverse. LITERATURE Jennifer Egan, 'James is a girl', in: New York Times Magazine, February 4, 1996, cover story with photographs by Nan Goldin.

Goldin began accepting commissions for the fashion part of the New York Times Magazine in 1995. Her interest, however, was less in the aesthetics of the fashion ateliers and catwalks or the glamour of the industry, but in the breaks in the perfectly polished surface, the intimate moments away from the spotlight. This is also the case in the series about 16-year-old supermodel Jamie King, called James, whom she accompanied to the fashion week in New York and Paris. In the tradition of her "Ballad of Sexual Dependency", she creates an intimate portrait of a teenager thrust into the limelight of the fashion industry.

西巴克罗姆照片,品相极佳。摄影师在背面用黑色墨水签名。文献:Jennifer Egan, 'James is a girl', 见:《纽约时报杂志》,1996年2月4日,封面故事,摄影师为南·戈尔丁。戈尔丁从1995年开始接受《纽约时报杂志》时尚部分的委托。然而,她的兴趣并不在于时尚工作室和T台的美学或行业的魅力,而在于完美表面下的裂缝,聚光灯外的亲密时刻。在关于16岁超级模特詹米·金(称为詹姆斯)的系列作品中也是如此,她陪同詹米参加了纽约和巴黎的时装周。延续她的《性依赖的叙事曲》的传统,她创造了一个被推入时尚行业聚光灯下的青少年的亲密肖像。
