Hand-signed by the artist in pen, titled, dated and numbered (verso) - Cibachrome on Fujifilm paper - S. 51 x 61 cm (20 1/8 x 24 in.) - published by Edition Schellmann, Munich and New York (with their inkstamp on the reverse) // Nan Goldin’s Joey in my Mirror, Berlin (1992) is an intimate C-print photograph capturing a deeply personal and introspective moment. The composition centers on a reflection of Joey in a mirror, her blonde hair and pensive expression evoking a sense of vulnerability. Surrounding her reflection, the vanity is adorned with objects—cosmetics, figurines, and a provocative photograph—creating a rich narrative of identity, desire, and self-presentation. The muted lighting and soft focus enhance the emotional depth of the scene, characteristic of Goldin’s raw, autobiographical approach to photography. Measuring 30.5 x 45.7 cm, this work offers an unfiltered glimpse into a private, introspective world.
