Diaries are irresistible to the nosy, an artist’s one even more so. They are portals into another person’s life in another time. Nan Goldin’s The Ballad of Sexual Dependency is a photographic diary that is still as fresh, exciting, comforting and confronting as it was when it was published in 1986.

For the first time in the UK comes this opportunity to see all 126 images, pristinely printed and framed on display at Gagosian Davies Street, on its 40th anniversary.
