Stern Portfolio No. 11 is a dedicated large-format publication devoted to the work of Nan Goldin, presenting an extensive survey of her photographic practice from the 1970s through the 1990s.
Published as part of the Stern Portfolio series, the volume takes advantage of the series’ oversized format and high-quality reproductions to give Goldin’s photographs considerable physical presence. The scale reinforces the intimacy of her images, allowing individual frames to retain the immediacy and emotional intensity of her diaristic approach.
The publication includes key photographs from The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, Goldin’s seminal visual chronicle of friendship, desire, sexuality, addiction, violence, and chosen family, alongside later work produced in Italy and Japan. Together, these sequences extend her ongoing investigation of intimacy as both lived experience and photographic subject.
Goldin’s photographs resist the distance traditionally associated with documentary practice. Her camera remains embedded within the lives she photographs, transforming bedrooms, parties, relationships, moments of tenderness, and episodes of vulnerability into an intensely personal visual record. The resulting images occupy an unstable space between private diary, social document, and artistic practice.
Accompanying texts place Goldin’s work within the broader development of contemporary photography and its movement toward increasingly subjective forms of documentation. Her unfiltered approach fundamentally expanded the possibilities of autobiographical and diaristic photography, making personal experience central to the medium’s artistic vocabulary.
A highly collectible large-format portfolio and an important document of Goldin’s photographic practice at the end of the 20th century.
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
